The plant serves a population of approximately 19,982 residents, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Brazil's wastewater treatment sector is regulated by the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) and the Ministry of Cities, with standards for effluent discharge and treatment levels. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to protect receiving water bodies. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per second or similar unit), indicating its intended treatment volume. The plant discharges treated effluent into local watercourses that drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports extensive agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, and diverse aquatic ecosystems. Proper treatment at this plant helps maintain water quality in downstream rivers and reservoirs.
