SIGILLO_CAMPO_GIANNI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sigillo, Umbria, Italy

SIGILLO_CAMPO_GIANNI is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sigillo, a town in the Umbria region of central Italy. The plant serves a small population of 217 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting. It is situated at Via Guglielmo Marconi in the Giacconale area, within the province of Perugia. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 500 cubic meters per day and a discharge volume of 42.96 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. As an Italian plant, it is subject to national regulations implementing the EU directive, which mandates appropriate treatment for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber flows through Umbria and Lazio before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the water quality of the Tiber and its downstream ecosystems, including the coastal marine environment.

The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through central Italy and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and urban areas. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and the sensitive coastal zone of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
