DP01802304_BRESSANA_BOTTARONE_VIA_FERRAGUTTI is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Bressana Bottarone, a municipality in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 57 people, reflecting its role in a rural or small-scale community setting. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant has a designed capacity of 57.00 m³/day and currently discharges 11.28 m³/day. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this are subject to appropriate treatment requirements, and advanced treatment aligns with sensitive area designations where nutrient removal is needed. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically significant region.
