Fraccionamiento Arvento is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cajititlán, within the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga in Jalisco, Mexico. The plant serves a population of approximately 59,327 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under Mexican wastewater regulations. As a Mexican facility, the plant operates under the national water quality standards set by the Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA). For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet discharge limits for biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids. It is expected to comply with the applicable regulatory framework. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Lerma-Chapala basin, eventually reaching Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake. This lake is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for the region. Proper treatment at Fraccionamiento Arvento helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Lerma-Chapala basin, where treated wastewater likely flows into local streams and rivers that drain into Lake Chapala. Lake Chapala is a critical freshwater resource for the region, supporting fisheries, agriculture, and biodiversity. The lake's ecological health depends on controlling nutrient loads and pollutants from upstream sources, making effective wastewater treatment essential for preserving water quality and aquatic habitats.
