SORGA_LOC_CAPOLUOGO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Torre di Masino, Veneto

SORGA_LOC_CAPOLUOGO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Torre di Masino, a locality in the comune of Sorgà, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 871 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting within the Po Valley. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the standards required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. The designed capacity of 800 m³/day indicates the plant is sized appropriately for its service area. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of the Po River and its delta.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which is the largest river system in Italy, flowing eastward into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and serves as an important migratory corridor for birds. Secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Adriatic.
