CROCETTA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cupello, in the province of Chieti, Italy. It serves a population equivalent of 6,300, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. As an Italian facility, CROCETTA operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size.
