Overview
ROMA_SETTECAMINI is a wastewater treatment plant serving 8,000 people in Roma, Lazio, Italy. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale.
ROMA_SETTECAMINI is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Settecamini district of Roma, in the Lazio region of Italy. It serves a population of approximately 8,000 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent is discharged into the local water system. As an Italian plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, ROMA_SETTECAMINI falls under the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size, the directive requires appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, to protect receiving waters. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 unit (likely million cubic meters per year or similar), indicating it is sized for its current population load. The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the Tiber River basin, which flows through Roma and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River is a major watercourse in central Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment at plants like ROMA_SETTECAMINI is essential to maintain water quality in the river and its downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The treated effluent from ROMA_SETTECAMINI likely discharges into a tributary of the Tiber River, which flows through Roma and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber basin supports a variety of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The plant's inland location reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall nutrient load in the river, which can affect coastal water quality and marine ecosystems in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
