IDL_CAVRIGLIA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cavriglia, Toscana

IDL_CAVRIGLIA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cavriglia, a town in the Toscana region of Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local community before its closure. As a closed facility, it no longer processes wastewater, but its historical role in the area's sanitation infrastructure is noted. The plant operated under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. Although the plant is now closed, the directive continues to guide wastewater management in the region, ensuring that discharges meet environmental standards. Cavriglia lies within the Arno River basin, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Arno basin supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural and urban runoff. The plant's closure may have shifted treatment responsibilities to other facilities in the area.

Cavriglia is located in the Arno River basin, which flows through Tuscany into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The basin supports a variety of aquatic species and is important for regional biodiversity. Downstream ecosystems, including coastal wetlands, rely on good water quality from upstream treatment. The closure of this plant may have altered local discharge patterns, but regional treatment infrastructure continues to protect the watershed.
