DEP_COM_POGGIO_DELL_ELLERA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Campagnano di Roma, Lazio

DEP_COM_POGGIO_DELL_ELLERA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Campagnano di Roma, in the Lazio region of Italy. The facility serves a small community of 1,200 residents and is situated in the rural area of Baccano, near the Fosso di Baccano stream. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. This level of treatment is typical for plants discharging into sensitive areas under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant's designed capacity of 1,200 m³/day matches the population served, indicating adequate infrastructure for the local community. The treated effluent is likely discharged into the Fosso di Baccano, a tributary of the Tiber River basin. The Tiber flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Advanced treatment helps protect the Tiber's water quality and the downstream marine environment, supporting aquatic life and recreational uses.

The plant discharges into the Fosso di Baccano, which feeds into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber flows through Rome and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The area supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, and advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water bodies from eutrophication and maintaining ecological balance.
