Overview
Quinto di Treviso Via Nogare wastewater treatment plant serves approximately 6,800 people in Treviso, Veneto, Italy. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale.
The Quinto di Treviso Via Nogare wastewater treatment plant is located in the Veneto region of Italy, serving the municipality of Treviso. With a population equivalent of approximately 6,800, it is classified as a small to medium agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from the coast, and its treated effluent is discharged into the local water system. As an Italian wastewater facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating its scale. The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the Adriatic Sea via the Sile River or other local watercourses in the Veneto plain. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and tourism. Proper treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems and water quality in the lagoon areas near Venice.
Environmental context
