Deportivo Mexico Nuevo Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ciudad López Mateos, Estado de México

Deportivo Mexico Nuevo is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Ciudad López Mateos, within the municipality of Atizapán de Zaragoza, Estado de México, Mexico. The facility serves a population of 3,651 and operates under Mexico's national water quality regulations, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The plant employs secondary treatment processes, achieving biological removal of organic matter and suspended solids. It treats an average of 345.60 m³/day of wastewater, operating at 80% of its designed capacity of 432.00 m³/day. This level of treatment meets the standards set by Mexico's National Water Commission (CONAGUA) for discharge into inland water bodies. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Gulf of Mexico via the Pánuco River system. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality in the region, supporting both environmental health and public water supply.

The plant discharges into the local drainage network that feeds into the Pánuco River basin, one of Mexico's largest river systems, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and communities downstream. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and organic pollution, safeguarding the ecological integrity of the river and coastal waters.
