The plant serves a population of around 4,500 residents, contributing to the sanitation infrastructure of this inland municipality within the Sorocaba metropolitan region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. This level of treatment is typical for facilities in sensitive areas or those subject to stringent state-level environmental regulations in São Paulo. The plant discharges approximately 602 cubic meters of treated wastewater per day. The treated effluent from ETE POVO FELIZ is released into local watercourses that drain into the Tietê River basin. The Tietê River flows through the state of São Paulo and eventually reaches the Paraná River basin, which is a major hydrological system in South America. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters local streams that feed into the Tietê River, a major waterway crossing São Paulo state. The Tietê River ultimately flows into the Paraná River, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for water supply and agriculture. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, which can cause eutrophication in downstream reservoirs.
