Overview
TODI_ACCORPAMENTO is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Todi, Umbria, Italy. It treats municipal wastewater for a population of 3,138 with a designed capacity of 6,400 m³/day.
TODI_ACCORPAMENTO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Ponterio, near Todi, in the Umbria region of central Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 3,138 people and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the Todi area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 6,400 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 621.21 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. 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 plays a key role in protecting the Tiber River and downstream ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution.
Environmental context
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 downstream. Secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and nutrients, protecting the river's ecological health and preventing eutrophication in coastal waters.
