Overview
ETE Quilombo Nova Odessa serves approximately 26,920 people in Nova Odessa, São Paulo, Brazil. The plant is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure in the Campinas metropolitan region.
ETE Quilombo Nova Odessa is a wastewater treatment plant located in Nova Odessa, a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It serves a population of approximately 26,920 residents within the Campinas metropolitan region, an area characterized by urban and industrial development. The plant is situated along Rodovia Astrônomo Jean Nicolini, near the Centro district. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which are enforced by state agencies such as CETESB in São Paulo. For communities of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards before discharge. It is expected to comply with CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which sets discharge standards for wastewater treatment plants across Brazil. The treated effluent from ETE Quilombo Nova Odessa is discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Piracicaba River basin, a major tributary of the Tietê River. The Tietê River flows through São Paulo state and ultimately reaches the Paraná River basin, which empties into the Río de la Plata estuary. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional water supply and agriculture.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the Piracicaba River basin, which flows into the Tietê River, a key waterway in São Paulo state. The Tietê River eventually joins the Paraná River system, draining into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for drinking, irrigation, and industry. The region's subtropical climate and urban development necessitate effective wastewater treatment to protect downstream water quality and ecological health.
