Trevenzuolo Loc Roncoleva Wastewater Treatment Plant, Roncolevà, Veneto

Trevenzuolo Loc Roncoleva is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Roncolevà, a frazione of Trevenzuolo in the province of Verona, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 790 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 1,100 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of 156.39 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin and then into the Adriatic Sea. The Veneto region is characterized by intensive agriculture and urban development, making advanced treatment crucial for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and important migratory bird populations. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea.
