IDL_CASTIGLION_FIBOCCHI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Arezzo, Tuscany

IDL_CASTIGLION_FIBOCCHI is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the Rondine area of Arezzo, in the Tuscany region of Italy. The plant serves a small population of around 1,218 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. As part of Italy's wastewater infrastructure, it contributes to the protection of local water resources. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,000 cubic meters per day and a reported discharge volume of 241.12 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variability. The plant's advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent suitable for sensitive receiving environments. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Arno River basin and then into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and contributing to the overall health of the Mediterranean coastal ecosystem. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Arno River basin. The Arno flows through Tuscany and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Pisa. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is important for regional biodiversity. Advanced treatment at the plant helps reduce the impact on the river and downstream marine environment, particularly in a region known for its ecological sensitivity.
