MOZZECANE SAN FAUSTINO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tormine, Veneto

MOZZECANE SAN FAUSTINO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Tormine, a frazione of Mozzecane in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,031 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. It is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a plant serving a population under 10,000, it falls under the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment for smaller agglomerations. Italian plants of this scale typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet national and EU standards. It operates within the regulatory framework that ensures compliance with discharge limits. The treated effluent from MOZZECANE SAN FAUSTINO is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. The plant plays a key role in protecting local streams and the broader Po watershed from nutrient pollution and pathogens.

The plant discharges into local watercourses that are part of the Po River basin, the largest river system in Italy. The Po River flows through the Po Valley and empties into the Adriatic Sea, supporting a rich ecosystem including migratory fish and bird species. The region is agriculturally intensive, making nutrient removal from wastewater critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
