VIA_VADO_LA_MOLA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Broccostella, Lazio, Italy

VIA_VADO_LA_MOLA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Broccostella, a town in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a population of 2,176 and has a designed capacity of 2,200 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 430.77 cubic meters per day. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas and secondary treatment for all inland agglomerations above 2,000 population equivalent. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. This treatment level is typical for facilities in sensitive watersheds or those required to meet stringent effluent standards. The plant's capacity utilization is well within design limits, indicating efficient operation. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which drains into the Liri River and eventually reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by the Lazio region's hilly terrain and agricultural land. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Liri River basin and the downstream coastal environment, supporting aquatic life and reducing nutrient loads to the sea.

The plant discharges into the Liri River basin, which flows through central Italy and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea near the Gulf of Gaeta. The Liri River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important water resource for agriculture and local communities. The advanced treatment at VIA_VADO_LA_MOLA helps minimize nutrient and pollutant inputs, protecting the river's ecological health and the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea from eutrophication and contamination.
