ETE JOAO PAULO II UNIAO DA VITORIA is a wastewater treatment plant located in União da Vitória, a city in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,401 residents, classifying it as a small-scale facility within the region's sanitation infrastructure. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level for municipal wastewater in Brazil. Under Brazil's national environmental regulations (CONAMA resolutions), secondary treatment is required for most urban wastewater to reduce organic load and suspended solids before discharge. The plant processes an average daily flow of 345.60 cubic meters.

The Iguaçu River flows westward to join the Paraná River, forming part of the larger Paraná Basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for regional water supply and agriculture.
