In Italy we have many WWTP facing this challenge. As examples of best practices see the WWTP Santa Giustina (Rimini) and Borghetto Santo Spirito (Imperia). Both use membranes (MBR) on several parallel lines. Only a few lines are active during winter (low season). At the beginning of the high season, the load is increased and the waste sludge is retained and some is used as inoculum for the other lines.

you may also consider that installing an advanced treatment process like MBR willenable you to reuse the water for irrigation, which in summer could have some attractive benefits

One of the states with similar problem during summer is Montenegro.

Our approach to WWTPs design, after detailed analysis of number of tourist (weekend visits, overnight stays and only summer residents), is based on optimisation of number of treatment lines on the WWTP in operation and adjustment of process parameters due to temperature difference.

What about collective network design when we are two very different wastewater inflow?
