The Centenario de La Revolucion Mexicana wastewater treatment plant is located in Miguel Alemán, Tamaulipas, Mexico. It serves a population of approximately 31,306 residents, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Mexican wastewater regulations. As a Mexican wastewater facility, the plant operates under the national water quality standards (NOM-001-SEMARNAT-1996 and subsequent updates) which set discharge limits for pollutants.
