ETE Lago Azul Piracicaba is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Estância Lago Azul neighborhood of Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 156 residents, reflecting its role in a localized community within the broader Piracicaba metropolitan area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. In Brazil, wastewater treatment plants are regulated under CONAMA resolutions and state-level environmental agencies, which set discharge standards for parameters such as BOD, COD, and nutrients. For small-scale plants like this, secondary treatment is typically sufficient to meet local permit requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually flow into the Piracicaba River, a key tributary of the Tietê River basin. The Tietê River drains into the Paraná River system, ultimately reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems by reducing pollutant loads before discharge.
