FRAZ_CAMPOLANO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pescorocchiano, Lazio, Italy

FRAZ_CAMPOLANO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the Campolano area of Pescorocchiano, in the province of Rieti, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 800 residents and is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. It has a designed capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day and discharges approximately 158.37 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. As a small agglomeration in Italy, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into sensitive areas. The treated effluent from FRAZ_CAMPOLANO flows into the local watershed, eventually reaching the Turano River and then the Tiber River, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of this river system and the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into the Turano River basin, a tributary of the Tiber River, which flows through central Italy to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The advanced treatment helps protect the river from nutrient pollution, which could otherwise lead to eutrophication in downstream waters.
