ETE TERRA NOVA TIETE is a wastewater treatment facility located in Tietê, within the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 1,037 residents, providing advanced treatment to ensure high-quality effluent before discharge. Its location in the interior of São Paulo state places it within a region of significant agricultural and urban activity. 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 required to meet stringent discharge standards. Under Brazilian regulations, such as CONAMA resolutions, advanced treatment helps protect receiving water bodies from eutrophication and other environmental impacts. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually flow into the Tietê River basin, a major river system in São Paulo state. The Tietê River drains into the Paraná River basin, ultimately reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant's advanced treatment helps safeguard downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality for communities relying on these waters.
