Overview
IDL_STABBIA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving Cerreto Guidi, Toscana, Italy. It treats wastewater for a population of 2,106 with a designed capacity of 3,500 m³/day.
IDL_STABBIA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Stabbia, a frazione of Cerreto Guidi in the Toscana region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,106 and is part of the municipal infrastructure managed by the Unione dei Comuni Circondario dell'Empolese Valdelsa. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets standards for collection and treatment of urban wastewater. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, going beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU directive for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 3,500 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 416.91 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. The advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent suitable for sensitive receiving environments. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Arno River basin, which flows through Toscana to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water resources, supporting both ecological health and downstream water quality in the Arno watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Arno River basin, which flows through the Toscana region to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Arno watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at this facility helps reduce nutrient loads and protect downstream water quality in this sensitive Mediterranean coastal environment.
