Overview
San Vendemiano Via Fontane wastewater treatment plant serves the town of San Vendemiano in Veneto, Italy. It treats wastewater from approximately 8,205 people as part of the region's municipal infrastructure.
The San Vendemiano Via Fontane wastewater treatment plant is located in San Vendemiano, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 8,205 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Italian and European regulatory frameworks. As a plant operating in Italy, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating a modest scale appropriate for the local population. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Adriatic Sea via the Piave River basin. The Veneto region is known for its agricultural and industrial activities, and the plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Piave River and the downstream coastal environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Piave River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region. The downstream environment includes the Venetian Lagoon, a sensitive coastal ecosystem that benefits from effective wastewater treatment to reduce nutrient and pollutant loads.
