MOSSANO_VIA_MONTRUGLIO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Mossano, Veneto

MOSSANO_VIA_MONTRUGLIO is a wastewater treatment facility located in Mossano, a frazione of Barbarano Mossano in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 386 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban setting within the Po Valley region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 500 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 76.41 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 ultimately drain into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the Po Delta and the northern Adriatic, supporting biodiversity and water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish and bird species. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Adriatic coastal zone.
