Farra di Soligo Zona Pipsoligo is a closed secondary treatment plant in Farra di Soligo, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
Farra di Soligo Zona Pipsoligo is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Farra di Soligo, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local area, which lies in the foothills of the Dolomites, an area known for its scenic landscapes and agricultural activity. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have met the standards required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for inland agglomerations. The directive mandates secondary treatment for all discharges from agglomerations of over 2,000 population equivalent, with more stringent requirements for sensitive areas. The plant's closure may reflect upgrades or consolidation within the regional wastewater network. The plant's treated effluent would have discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Piave River, a major river in Veneto that flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Piave River supports diverse aquatic life and is important for irrigation and recreation in the region.
