TORRILE_SAN_POLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, San Polo, Emilia-Romagna

TORRILE_SAN_POLO is a wastewater treatment plant located in San Polo, a frazione of Torrile in the province of Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 7,214 residents, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category 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. The plant's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but the regulatory framework ensures compliance with national standards for effluent quality. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water network, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin. The Po River is Italy's longest river and flows into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities along its course.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River supports a rich ecosystem including fish species like sturgeon and eel, and its delta is an important migratory corridor for birds. The surrounding Emilia-Romagna region is agriculturally intensive, making proper wastewater treatment critical to prevent nutrient pollution in the river and coastal waters.
