The plant serves a population of approximately 6,942 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). As an Italian facility, it is subject to national regulations implementing EU standards for wastewater treatment and discharge. Under the EU UWWTD, agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000 are required to provide appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, unless discharging into sensitive areas that demand more stringent measures. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with environmental standards for its size category. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water network, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin.
