Overview
TEGLIO_VENETO_CAPOLUOGO is a secondary wastewater treatment plant in Teglio Veneto, Veneto, Italy. It serves a population of 800 with a designed capacity of 800 cubic meters per day.
TEGLIO_VENETO_CAPOLUOGO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Teglio Veneto, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 800 people and is situated in a rural area along Strada rurale Basse. As a secondary treatment facility, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge. The plant operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. Although this plant serves fewer than 2,000 people, it still meets secondary treatment standards, reflecting Italy's commitment to water quality. The designed capacity of 800 cubic meters per day aligns with the population served, and the plant discharges approximately 158 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. The treated effluent is released into local watercourses that drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Venetian Lagoon or nearby rivers. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and tourism. By providing secondary treatment, the plant helps protect downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic loading, contributing to the overall health of the Adriatic coastal environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow toward the Adriatic Sea, likely via the Lemene River or other tributaries of the Venetian Lagoon. The lagoon is a ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish nurseries and migratory birds. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and nutrients, helping to prevent eutrophication in the downstream coastal waters.
