The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and operates as part of the region's sanitation infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required for urban wastewater under Brazilian regulations. For a small agglomeration of this size, secondary treatment is appropriate and meets the typical requirements set by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) and state environmental agencies. The plant discharges an average of 413.86 cubic meters of treated wastewater per day. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies within the Paraguay River basin, which drains into the Paraná River and ultimately the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the Pantanal region, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands.

The plant discharges into the Paraguay River basin, which flows through the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland. This ecosystem supports diverse aquatic life, including fish, caimans, and migratory birds. The treated effluent contributes to maintaining water quality in the basin, which is critical for the ecological health of the Pantanal and downstream waters leading to the Río de la Plata estuary.
