DP09804501_PIEVE_FISSIRAGA_INTERCOMUNALE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Pieve Fissiraga, a town in the province of Lodi, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 8,231 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant is expected to comply with these standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural irrigation. The plant plays a key role in protecting these downstream environments from pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports extensive agriculture and is ecologically important for fish species and migratory birds. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient enrichment and contamination of these waters.
