ETE I 6 Dom Pedro II is a wastewater treatment plant located in Toledo, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. It serves a population of about 4,932 people, classifying it as a small-scale facility in the region. The plant is situated inland, more than 10 km from the coast, and contributes to local water management in the Paraná watershed. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume of 590.11 (likely cubic meters per day) indicates its operational scale. Under Brazilian regulations, wastewater treatment plants are subject to federal and state environmental standards, including CONAMA resolutions, which mandate treatment levels based on receiving water body sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for agriculture, industry, and drinking water supply downstream. The plant's operation helps protect water quality in the region, reducing nutrient and pathogen loads to receiving waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of the largest river systems in South America, flowing into the Río de la Plata estuary. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and urban development. Proper treatment at this plant helps mitigate eutrophication and pathogen contamination in downstream waters.
