FLUMERI_IMPIANTO_FLUMERI_LOCALITA_BORRELLI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Flumeri, within the Terre dell'Ufita area of Avellino, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,800 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Italian and European regulatory frameworks. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for inland freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 1,800 cubic meters per day aligns with the population served, and the actual discharge volume of 356.34 cubic meters per day indicates operational headroom. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which drains into the Ufita River, a tributary of the Calore Irpino River, eventually reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these water bodies and the downstream ecosystems, including the Gulf of Salerno.
