VILLABARTOLOMEA_SPINIMBECCO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Spinimbecco, a locality within Villa Bartolomea, in the province of Verona, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a small population of approximately 845 people, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting within the Po Valley region. 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 with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. With a designed capacity of 600 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 167.28 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting extensive agricultural irrigation and diverse aquatic habitats. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect these downstream ecosystems from organic pollution and nutrient loading.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River and its delta support a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and wetlands of ecological importance. Secondary treatment reduces biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in this agriculturally intensive region.
