REFRONTOLO_VIA_COSTA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pieve di Soligo, Veneto

REFRONTOLO_VIA_COSTA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Pieve di Soligo, in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small community of 534 people and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 600 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 105.71 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Piave River basin. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the downstream aquatic environment, including the ecologically important Venice Lagoon ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. This region includes the Venice Lagoon, a sensitive coastal ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for birds. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting water quality in the lagoon and coastal waters.
