Water Quality

Classification: E (poor quality). The area is served by a mixed public sewer connected to a treatment plant with a biological activated sludge system designed for 40,000 equivalent inhabitants. Discharges consist of urban wastewater including domestic and industrial effluent. Microbiological monitoring in 2008 and 2010 was compliant. One of two controls in 2009 (28 August) was non-compliant for E. Coli at 120,000 CFU/100 ml due to damage to the inlet pipe of the treatment plant. COD, BOD5, and suspended solids parameters were consistently compliant in 2006 and 2007.

Risks

An overflow device (scolmatore) located on Via Poldo e Lidia has been identified as a pollution source during brief overflow events. No cyanobacterial proliferation or macroalgae/phytoplankton proliferation has been reported.
