Water Quality

Water quality classification: E (poor). The sewerage network of Fano municipality is approximately 260 kilometers long and serves the entire urbanized area. Three active sludge treatment plants serve the area: Ponte Metauro (treating approximately 12,000 cubic meters daily), Bellocchi (approximately 2,000 cubic meters daily), and Ponte Sasso (1,000-1,500 cubic meters in winter; 3,000-4,000 cubic meters in summer). The Ponte Sasso treatment plant serves this bathing area and serves 10,000-49,999 population equivalents. Heavy rainfall causes combined sewage discharges through 17 overflow points in the coastal area (7 from Ponte Metauro, 10 from Ponte Sasso, 0 from Bellocchi). One overflow discharge (Caravelle) is authorized to discharge onto the sandy beach. Monitoring shows mild increases in microbiological parameters during short-term pollution events.

Risks

Non-toxic microalgae blooms (Noctiluca scintillans) occurred in 2008 and 2009 causing discoloration of marine water. Slight increase in microbiological parameters during short-term pollution events. Combined sewage overflow discharge authorized during heavy rainfall.
