FSS_IF01_FITODEPURAZIONE is a wastewater treatment plant located in the hamlet of Gorgo, near Fratta, in the municipality of Fossalta di Portogruaro, Venice, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 270 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It is situated inland, more than 10 km from the Adriatic coast. 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 with a population equivalent below 2,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 330 m³/day and currently discharges an average of 53.45 m³/day of treated effluent. As a small-scale facility, it plays a key role in protecting local water quality in the Veneto region. The treated effluent is discharged into the local drainage network, which ultimately flows into the Adriatic Sea via the Lemene River or nearby canals. This area is part of the Venice Lagoon watershed, an ecologically sensitive environment that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory bird species. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and safeguards the ecological balance of the lagoon and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local canal system, which drains into the Lemene River and eventually reaches the Adriatic Sea near the Venice Lagoon. This coastal lagoon ecosystem is a critical habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other wildlife, and is sensitive to nutrient inputs from wastewater. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and helps maintain water quality in this ecologically important area.
