DEPURATORE MADONNA DELLA NEVE - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Castiglione in Teverina, Lazio

DEPURATORE MADONNA DELLA NEVE is a wastewater treatment facility located in Castiglione in Teverina, a town in the province of Viterbo, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,000 residents and has a designed capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, with a recorded discharge volume of 395.93 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As a facility in Italy, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires advanced treatment for sensitive areas and appropriate levels for smaller agglomerations. The plant's advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local environment, likely into a tributary of the Tiber River basin, which flows through Lazio and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Tiber watershed and downstream ecosystems, including coastal areas.

The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber is the third-longest river in Italy and supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as barbel and chub. The downstream environment includes the Tiber Delta, an ecologically sensitive area that provides habitat for migratory birds and marine species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protect water quality in the basin.
