Overview
ETE JUPIA PIRACICABA is a secondary treatment plant in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, serving a small population of 233 with a discharge volume of 52.00.
ETE JUPIA PIRACICABA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Jardim Parque Jupiá neighborhood of Piracicaba, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It serves a small population of 233 residents, reflecting its role as a local facility within the broader Piracicaba metropolitan region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Under Brazilian regulations, secondary treatment is typical for smaller communities, and the plant's discharge volume of 52.00 cubic meters per day aligns with its modest service scale. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Piracicaba River, a key tributary of the Tietê River basin. The Tietê River flows through São Paulo state and empties into the Paraná River system, eventually reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant helps protect the Piracicaba River from untreated sewage, supporting water quality for downstream communities and ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Piracicaba River, which flows into the Tietê River, a major watercourse in São Paulo state. The Tietê River is part of the Paraná River basin, one of South America's largest drainage systems, ultimately reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The Piracicaba River supports diverse aquatic life and is used for water supply, recreation, and agriculture. Protecting its water quality is critical for the ecological health of the downstream Tietê and Paraná systems.
