FLUMERI_IMPIANTO_FLUMERI_LOCALITA_SCAMPATA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Flumeri, a town in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of around 500 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-scale community within the Terre dell'Ufita area. Its location along the Strada Provinciale Flumeri - Zungoli places it within the inland terrain of southern Italy. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with EU discharge standards. The designed capacity of 500 m³/day aligns with the population served, indicating a facility scaled to local needs. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Ufita River, a tributary of the Calore Irpino River, and then into the Volturno River before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. This inland system supports agricultural and ecological functions in the Campania region, with the plant playing a role in protecting water quality in the Ufita basin.
