DEPURATORE CO B I S is a wastewater treatment plant located in Anguillara Sabazia, in the Lazio region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 34,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated near Cesano, within the Roma Capitale metropolitan area. As an Italian plant, it 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 advanced treatment if the receiving waters are sensitive areas. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Tiber River basin. The Tiber River is a major watercourse in central Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and urban use. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect the ecological health of the downstream environment.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Tiber River and eventually reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River basin supports a variety of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The coastal zone near the Tiber delta includes ecologically sensitive habitats such as wetlands and dunes, which benefit from reduced nutrient and pollutant loads from upstream treatment.
