ETE MINEIROS MINEIROS DO TIETE is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mineiros do Tietê, a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 11,500 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Brazil's wastewater treatment regulations are governed by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) and state-level environmental agencies.

The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting aquatic ecosystems in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Tietê River basin, a critical waterway in southeastern Brazil that flows through densely populated areas before joining the Paraná River. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is used for water supply, agriculture, and recreation. Proper treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading and pollution in this ecologically sensitive watershed.
