Italy: INNOQUA demo site in Vasto
Vasto is a small city of approximately 42,000 people located on the Adriatic coast in central Italy’s Abruzzo region. The surrounding area contends with a lack of appropriate sanitation, as portions of 19 wards are not fully connected to a public sewer network.
Beneficiaries
The INNOQUA system treats the wastewater from the Canale house, a single-family residence for four persons.
