Overview
Conegliano Via Ca Di Villa Campolongo wastewater treatment plant serves Ramera, Veneto, Italy. It treats wastewater for approximately 42,000 people under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
The Conegliano Via Ca Di Villa Campolongo wastewater treatment plant is located in Ramera, a locality in the municipality of Mareno di Piave, in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 42,046, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. As an Italian wastewater facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas, which are common in the Veneto region due to its proximity to the Adriatic Sea and lagoon ecosystems. The treated effluent is likely discharged into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Piave River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and tourism in the region. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of this river and the downstream coastal environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows southeast through Veneto and empties into the Adriatic Sea near the Venetian Lagoon. The Piave River supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as trout and barbel, and its waters are used for irrigation and recreation. The downstream Adriatic coastal zone is ecologically sensitive, hosting important habitats for migratory birds and marine species. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and protect these ecosystems.

The plant serves approximately 42,046 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
The treated effluent is likely discharged into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's discharge contributes to protecting the water quality of the river and the downstream coastal environment.
As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations over 15,000 population equivalent. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas.
For agglomerations of this size, the EU UWWTD requires secondary treatment as a minimum. In sensitive areas, such as those near the Adriatic coast, tertiary treatment for nutrient removal may be required to prevent eutrophication.
