ETE SAO JOAO DA BOA VISTA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in São João da Boa Vista, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves an estimated population of 79,474, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration within the region. It is situated inland, approximately 50 km from the coast, and plays a key role in managing the city's wastewater. As a Brazilian treatment facility, ETE SAO JOAO DA BOA VISTA operates under the national regulatory framework established by the National Water Agency (ANA) and the National Environmental Council (CONAMA). CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 sets effluent discharge standards, requiring secondary treatment for most urban wastewater. For a plant serving nearly 80,000 people, compliance with these standards is essential to protect downstream water quality. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of Brazil's major hydrological systems. The Paraná River flows southward, eventually reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The surrounding region is characterized by agricultural and urban land use, making effective wastewater treatment critical for preventing nutrient pollution and safeguarding aquatic ecosystems.
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 and is important for regional water supply. Effective treatment is essential to control nutrient loading and protect downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
