MEDUNA_DI_LIVENZA VIA DEL PASSO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Motta di Livenza, Veneto

MEDUNA_DI_LIVENZA_VIA_DEL_PASSO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Motta di Livenza, within the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The facility serves a population of 1,637 and is situated in the municipality of Motta di Livenza, near the Livenza River basin. As a small-scale plant, it plays a key role in managing local domestic wastewater. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2,600 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 324.07 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this are required to provide appropriate treatment, and the advanced level here indicates compliance with sensitive area standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water network, which ultimately drains into the Livenza River and then into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the downstream aquatic environment, supporting water quality in the Veneto region's coastal lagoons and marine ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Livenza River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near the Venetian Lagoon. This coastal area supports diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. The advanced treatment reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in the sensitive lagoon and marine environments.
