ETE JERIQUARA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Jeriquara, a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,676 residents, providing secondary treatment to manage domestic wastewater from the community. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. As a secondary treatment facility, it uses biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the standards set by the Brazilian National Environment Council (CONAMA). The plant's discharge volume is recorded at 364.02 cubic meters per day. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of the major river systems in South America. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems, contributing to the overall health of the region's water resources.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Paraná River basin, which flows through southeastern Brazil and ultimately reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for local agriculture and water supply. Proper wastewater treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and maintains ecological balance in the receiving waters.
