ETE LAGOA SANTA GO is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Lagoa Santa, a municipality in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Serving a population of 691, the plant is part of the region's sanitation infrastructure, addressing the needs of a small community in the Central-West region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological process required for organic matter removal. Under Brazil's national environmental framework, CONAMA resolutions and state-level regulations govern effluent standards for such facilities. For small agglomerations, secondary treatment is typically sufficient to meet discharge limits for inland waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies, contributing to the protection of the Paraná River basin, which ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant plays a role in preserving water quality in the region's streams and rivers, supporting aquatic life and downstream uses.
