DEP_COM_VIA_VIVALDI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Marino, within the Lazio region of central Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 8,200 residents in the Marino area, including localities such as Cava dei Selci and Poggio delle Mole. As a small-to-medium agglomeration, the plant is part of Italy's wastewater infrastructure managed under regional and national regulations. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000 are required to provide appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, unless discharging into sensitive areas. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a scale consistent with its served population. The facility is expected to comply with Italian national standards transposing EU directives. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that ultimately drain toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. Marino is located in the Alban Hills volcanic region, and the surrounding watershed includes streams flowing into the Tiber River basin or directly to the coast. The treated effluent contributes to the water quality of downstream environments, supporting aquatic life and agricultural uses in the Lazio region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated wastewater likely enters local streams that feed into the Tiber River basin or directly reach the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Alban Hills area features volcanic lakes and springs, and the downstream environment supports diverse aquatic habitats. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this ecologically sensitive region, which includes coastal zones and agricultural areas.
