For a facility serving a medium-sized agglomeration of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet discharge standards. The plant's treatment processes are designed to reduce organic load and pollutants before releasing treated effluent into the local water system. The treated wastewater from ETE Santa Monica Vo Pureza is discharged into local water bodies that eventually flow into the Piracicaba River basin, a major watershed in São Paulo state. This basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agricultural and urban uses downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect the ecological health of the Piracicaba River and its tributaries.

The plant discharges into the Piracicaba River basin, which drains into the Tietê River and ultimately reaches the Paraná River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for regional water supply. Effective treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
