Overview
San Giorgio in Bosco Via Lobia is a secondary treatment plant serving 1,370 people in Veneto, Italy. It discharges 271.21 m³/day and operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
San Giorgio in Bosco Via Lobia is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in San Giorgio in Bosco, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,370 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,500 m³/day and currently treats an average daily flow of 271.21 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. Treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural irrigation along its course. The plant's operation helps protect local waterways from nutrient pollution and organic loading.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Po River basin, which flows through the Veneto plain into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic habitats and migratory bird populations. Secondary treatment reduces organic matter and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in the downstream river system and ultimately the Adriatic coastal environment.
