Impianto di Fitodepurazione Via dei Rizzi Maser is a small wastewater treatment plant located in Coste di Maser, a frazione of Maser in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a population of 74 and is situated in the rural foothills of the Veneto Prealps, an area known for its agricultural landscape and historic villas. 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 95 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 14.65 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Piave River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's groundwater and surface water quality, supporting both local agriculture and the ecological health of the downstream river system.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that feed into the Piave River, which flows southeast into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Piave basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for irrigation in the Veneto plain. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
