The plant serves a population of approximately 1,611 people and is situated in the province of Belluno, near the Piave River valley. Its designed capacity is 2,000 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of about 319 cubic meters per day, indicating a utilization rate well below capacity. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for discharges into sensitive areas. Given the plant's location in the Alpine foothills, advanced treatment helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the region. The treated effluent is discharged into the Piave River basin, which flows southeast into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Piave River is an important watercourse in northeastern Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and recreation. The plant's advanced treatment helps maintain water quality in this ecologically significant river system.

The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which ultimately drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Piave River is a major watercourse in the Veneto region, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical water resource for downstream communities and ecosystems. The advanced treatment level helps protect the river's water quality, particularly in the context of the sensitive Alpine and coastal environments.
