Telese Terme Depuratore is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Telese Terme, in the Campania region of southern Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 7,000 residents, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size.
