DP01809301_MIRADOLO_TERME Wastewater Treatment Plant, Miradolo Terme, Lombardy

DP01809301_MIRADOLO_TERME is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Miradolo Terme, a town in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,643 residents and has a designed capacity of 2,950 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 325.26 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas. For a small agglomeration of this size, the directive requires appropriate collection and treatment systems. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain 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 along its course. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is Italy's longest river and supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and wetland habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea and maintaining water quality for downstream communities.
