Fontanelle Via Dei Morti is a wastewater treatment plant located in Lutrano, a frazione of Fontanelle in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a small population of 245 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting within the province of Treviso. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 400 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 48.50 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating it is sized for potential future growth or seasonal peaks. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Piave River basin and then into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's location in the Veneto plain, an area with intensive agriculture and sensitive water bodies, underscores the importance of maintaining treatment standards to protect downstream ecosystems and water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local drainage network that feeds into the Piave River, a major watercourse in northeastern Italy. The Piave flows into the Adriatic Sea near Jesolo, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for irrigation. The Veneto region includes ecologically sensitive areas such as the Venice Lagoon, making proper wastewater treatment critical for preventing nutrient pollution and protecting coastal ecosystems.
