TOR_PAGNOTTA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Roma, Lazio, Italy

TOR_PAGNOTTA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Giuliano-Dalmata district of Roma, in the Lazio region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 9,000 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. Its location in the southern part of Rome places it within the urbanized area of the city, contributing to the municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, TOR_PAGNOTTA is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment (secondary or equivalent) for discharges into fresh water and estuaries. The designed capacity of 1.00 cubic meters per day indicates a small-scale facility. The plant is expected to meet the directive's standards for biological treatment and nutrient removal where necessary. The treated effluent from TOR_PAGNOTTA likely discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River is a major watercourse in central Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant's operation helps protect the river's water quality and the downstream marine environment of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

TOR_PAGNOTTA discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Rome and ultimately reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber River is an ecologically significant waterway that supports fish populations and migratory birds. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting the river's ecosystem and the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea from eutrophication and contamination.
