Overview
SANT_ANGELO wastewater treatment plant serves Subiaco, Lazio, Italy, with a population equivalent of 8,900. The plant discharges into the local watershed, contributing to the Aniene River basin and ultimately the Tyrrhenian Sea.
SANT_ANGELO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Subiaco, within the Lazio region of Italy. It serves a population of approximately 8,900 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Italian and EU regulatory frameworks. The plant is situated along Strada Regionale 411 Sublacense, in the Roma Capitale area. As an Italian plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, SANT_ANGELO operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for discharges into freshwater and estuaries. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards for effluent quality. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which drains into the Aniene River, a tributary of the Tiber River. The Tiber flows through Rome and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, particularly downstream near the Tiber delta and coastal marine environment.
