Water Quality

Water quality classification results: 2015 Sufficient (E. coli 95th percentile 167.3, Intestinal Enterococci 95th percentile 101.5); 2016 Sufficient (E. coli 95th percentile 99.3, Intestinal Enterococci 95th percentile 94.2); 2017 Sufficient (E. coli 95th percentile 113.8, Intestinal Enterococci 95th percentile 118.5); 2018 Good (E. coli 95th percentile 121.0, Intestinal Enterococci 95th percentile 105.1). The main pollution source is discharge from the Fiumarella stream, which collects urban wastewater from the industrial zone of Loreto and rainwater from both Loreto and Porto Recanati. Investigations conducted at various times of year, including outside the bathing season and in the absence of significant rainfall, show that waters discharged to sea from the Fiumarella stream are always contaminated with E. coli to varying degrees.

Risks

Urban wastewater discharge from the Fiumarella stream represents the primary pollution source. Three sewerage pumping stations discharge overflow into the Fiumarella Canal. Four flood relief overflow valves discharge into the Fosso della Lavanderia di Loreto. Five flood relief overflow valves discharge into the Fiumarella Canal of Porto Recanati. Activation of these overflow and pumping station discharges occurs during short-duration pollution events. No cyanobacterial proliferation events reported. No algal or phytoplankton blooms detected during the monitoring period, with no health risk alerts in the past four years.
