Overview
LUSIANA_MAINI is a closed secondary treatment plant in Lusiana, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
LUSIANA_MAINI was a wastewater treatment plant located in Lusiana, a town in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local population, operating as part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure in the Vicenza province.

The plant's treated effluent would have discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Brenta River or Bacchiglione River systems, ultimately reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Veneto region is characterized by agricultural and industrial activity, making wastewater treatment important for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
