Water Quality

Water quality classification: Good. Classification based on 18 routine samples from 2020–2023. Escherichia coli 90th percentile 37.7 MPN/100 ml, 95th percentile 62.2 MPN/100 ml. Enterococci 90th percentile 154.8 MPN/100 ml, 95th percentile 259.6 MPN/100 ml. The bathing area falls within the Maggiore 8 homogeneous zone with medium-high pressure classification due to high density of sewage conduits. Scattered houses upstream are apparently not connected to sewers. Treatment plant located approximately 4 km from the monitoring point.

Risks

Three small streams within 500 metres may influence water quality. Intense precipitation can trigger overflow structures, and accidental failures of lifting systems may release untreated sewage. Possible pollutants include mineral oils and fuel from vessels. Poor management of the sewage network is a potential pollution source. No cyanobacteria monitoring is conducted periodically. No macroalgae or phytoplankton proliferation has been detected. No anomalous events were recorded.
