SCIGLIANO_CASINO_RIZZO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Scigliano, Calabria

SCIGLIANO_CASINO_RIZZO is a wastewater treatment plant located in San Giovanni, Scigliano, in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, Italy. The facility serves a small population of 540 residents and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 200 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 106.90 cubic meters per day, the plant operates below its maximum capacity. As an Italian facility, it operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Ionian Sea via the Savuto River and other smaller streams in the region. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the water quality of these receiving waters and supports the ecological health of the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into the local watershed in the Savuto River basin, which flows into the Ionian Sea. This coastal region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for local fisheries and tourism. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting the sensitive marine ecosystem from eutrophication and contamination.
