Overview
ETE ITAPEVA is a wastewater treatment plant serving Itapeva, São Paulo, Brazil. It treats municipal wastewater for a population of approximately 64,112 under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE ITAPEVA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Itapeva, a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 64,112 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category. It operates within Brazil's regulatory framework for water quality and sanitation, which mandates appropriate treatment levels to protect public health and the environment. As a plant serving a medium-sized population, ETE ITAPEVA is expected to provide secondary treatment or equivalent, in line with Brazilian standards (CONAMA resolutions). Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment systems to meet effluent quality standards. The treated wastewater from ETE ITAPEVA is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Paraná River basin. This basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and urban use downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting water quality in the receiving water bodies.
Environmental context
ETE ITAPEVA discharges into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system that flows through southeastern Brazil and into the Río de la Plata estuary. The basin supports critical ecosystems, including riparian forests and wetlands that provide habitat for fish and migratory birds. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
