LOC_S_TOMAO is a wastewater treatment facility located in Frangelini, a locality within Magliano Sabina, in the province of Rieti, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a population of 1,500 and operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent. Its designed capacity is 1,500 m³/day, and it currently discharges 296.95 m³/day of treated wastewater. The plant's advanced treatment level goes beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. This indicates a commitment to protecting sensitive receiving waters, as advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal to reduce eutrophication risks. The facility is part of Italy's municipal wastewater infrastructure, which is regulated under national decrees implementing EU directives. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber flows through Lazio and into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome. The advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of the Tiber and its downstream coastal environment, supporting aquatic life and water quality for downstream communities.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Lazio and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important water resource for the region. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting the river and coastal waters from eutrophication and maintaining habitat quality for fish and other organisms.
