ETE VOG VILLE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Lauro de Freitas, within the metropolitan region of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,384 people, classifying it as a small-scale municipal facility in the northeastern coastal region of Brazil. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA Resolution 430/2011) for wastewater discharge into water bodies. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume is recorded at 50.39 units, indicating its operational scale. The treated effluent is discharged into a receiving water body that ultimately drains into the Atlantic Ocean, given the plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km). This coastal location necessitates careful management to protect marine ecosystems, including nearby beaches and mangroves that support diverse aquatic life and serve as important habitats for local species.
