DEP_COM_BAGNI_DI_TIVOLI_BORGO_NUOVO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tivoli Terme, Lazio

DEP_COM_BAGNI_DI_TIVOLI_BORGO_NUOVO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Tivoli Terme, a frazione of Tivoli in the Metropolitan City of Rome, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 12,000 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under Italian and EU regulations. As a plant serving a population equivalent of 12,000, it falls under the scope of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for discharges to freshwater and estuaries. Typical plants of this scale in Italy have capacities ranging from 2,000 to 20,000 cubic meters per day. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local watercourse that eventually flows into the Tiber River basin, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River is a major water body in central Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated wastewater.

The plant is located inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its discharge likely enters a tributary of the Tiber River. The Tiber River flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea, supporting a variety of fish species and serving as an important ecological corridor. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting both freshwater and marine environments in the region.
