SAVOIA DI LUCANIA CDA S MARIA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Savoia di Lucania, Italy

SAVOIA DI LUCANIA CDA S MARIA is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Savoia di Lucania, a town in the province of Potenza, Basilicata, Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater, serving the local population before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary biological treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant is now closed, and wastewater from the area is likely managed by other facilities in the region. Savoia di Lucania lies in the Basilicata region, which drains into the Ionian Sea via rivers such as the Basento or Agri. The closure of this plant may have implications for local water quality, though alternative treatment arrangements are presumably in place.

Savoia di Lucania is located in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, an area characterized by mountainous terrain and rivers flowing to the Ionian Sea. The plant's discharge, when operational, would have entered a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Ionian Sea, a semi-enclosed basin with sensitive marine ecosystems. The region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and migratory birds, and the closure of the plant may affect local water quality management.
