SALGAREDA VIA DEGLI ALPINI CAMPO DI PIETRA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Campo di Pietra, Italy

SALGAREDA VIA DEGLI ALPINI CAMPO DI PIETRA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Campo di Pietra, a locality within the municipality of Salgareda, in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 460 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 500 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 91.06 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Piave River basin and then into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the Veneto region, including the Piave River and its associated wetlands, which support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional biodiversity.

The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near the Venetian Lagoon. The Piave River is a significant watercourse in northeastern Italy, supporting diverse aquatic habitats and serving as a migratory corridor for fish. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream ecosystems including the ecologically sensitive coastal areas of the Adriatic.
