ROVOLON VIA PONTE TEZZE LOC BASTIA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bastia, Veneto

ROVOLON VIA PONTE TEZZE LOC BASTIA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Bastia, a locality in the municipality of Rovolon, within the province of Padua in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of 1,665 and has a designed capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 329.61 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment facility, the plant goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, aligning with the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. Italy implements this directive through national legislation, and plants of this scale are typically required to meet stringent effluent standards to protect receiving water bodies. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that drain into the Bacchiglione River basin, which flows through the Veneto plain and eventually reaches the Adriatic Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small settlements, making the plant's advanced treatment crucial for maintaining water quality in the region's surface waters and supporting downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Bacchiglione River basin. The Bacchiglione flows through the Veneto region and empties into the Adriatic Sea near Chioggia. The downstream environment includes agricultural areas and wetlands that support diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as the Italian barbel and the European eel. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the sensitive Adriatic coastal zone.
