IDL_ALLENDE_ZONA_PEEP is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Quarrata, a town in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater before its closure. As a closed facility, it no longer processes wastewater, and its infrastructure may be decommissioned or repurposed. During its operational period, the plant would have been subject to Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. Quarrata lies within the Arno River basin, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Arno basin supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically important for the region. The plant's closure may have led to wastewater being redirected to other facilities in the area.
