Overview
ETE LAGUNA is a secondary treatment plant serving 2,000 people in Laguna, Santa Catarina, Brazil. It discharges treated wastewater near the coast, supporting local sanitation infrastructure.
ETE LAGUNA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Portinho neighborhood of Laguna, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Serving a population of approximately 2,000 residents, the plant plays a key role in managing domestic wastewater for this coastal community in the southern region of the country. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for municipalities of this scale. The plant's discharge volume of 208.22 (units unspecified) indicates active operation. As a coastal facility within 10 km of the Atlantic Ocean, it must comply with stringent effluent standards to protect marine water quality. Treated effluent from ETE LAGUNA likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Atlantic Ocean. The surrounding region includes sensitive coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and lagoons, which depend on proper wastewater management to maintain water quality and biodiversity. The plant's operation contributes to reducing pollution loads in the coastal zone.
