Overview
ETE NORTE LONDRINA serves Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, treating wastewater for approximately 153,500 residents. The plant operates under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE NORTE LONDRINA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Conjunto Habitacional José Maurício Barroso neighborhood of Londrina, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Serving a population of around 153,500 people, the plant is a key component of the city's sanitation infrastructure, supporting a medium-to-large urban agglomeration in southern Brazil. Brazil's wastewater treatment facilities are regulated under the National Environment Council (CONAMA) resolutions and the National Water Resources Policy (Law 9,433/1997). For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet discharge standards. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with effluent quality standards. The treated effluent from ETE NORTE LONDRINA is discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. The Paraná River flows southward into the Río de la Plata estuary, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture, industry, and communities along its course.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and urban development. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and biodiversity.
