DP01719001_TRENZANO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Trenzano, Lombardia, Italy

DP01719001_TRENZANO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Trenzano, a municipality in the province of Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of around 7,699, placing it in the category of small to medium agglomerations under EU classification. Its address along Vaso Fiume di Trenzano indicates its proximity to local waterways. As an Italian plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment before discharge. Plants of this scale typically employ secondary treatment or equivalent, as mandated by the directive for inland freshwater discharges. Its continued operation is essential for local sanitation. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the Vaso Fiume di Trenzano, a watercourse that flows into the Oglio River, a major tributary of the Po River. The Po River basin is the largest in Italy, draining into the Adriatic Sea. This discharge contributes to the overall water quality management of the Po basin, which supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities downstream.

The plant discharges into the Vaso Fiume di Trenzano, which flows into the Oglio River, a key tributary of the Po River. The Po River basin is ecologically significant, supporting a variety of fish species and providing water for irrigation in the Po Valley. The treated effluent must meet EU standards to protect the downstream aquatic ecosystem and prevent eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea.
