GIOIA SANNITICA IMPIANTO LOCALITA CARRATTANO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Gioia Sannitica, Campania

GIOIA SANNITICA IMPIANTO LOCALITA CARRATTANO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Centimolo area of Gioia Sannitica, in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 350 residents and is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. 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 700 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 69.29 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Volturno River basin, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the water quality of the Volturno River and the downstream coastal environment, supporting aquatic life and reducing nutrient pollution in the Mediterranean Sea.

The plant discharges into the Volturno River basin, which flows through Campania and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Volturno River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important water resource for agriculture and drinking water. The downstream coastal area includes sensitive marine habitats that benefit from reduced nutrient loads from treated wastewater.
