Fraccionamiento Gobernadores Wastewater Treatment Plant, Comalcalco, Tabasco

Fraccionamiento Gobernadores is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Comalcalco, Tabasco, Mexico. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,472 people, classifying it as a small-scale facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under Mexican regulations (NOM-001-SEMARNAT) for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 864.00 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 423.36 m³/day, the facility operates below its full capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Gulf of Mexico, given the plant's proximity to the coast. The surrounding region is part of the Grijalva-Usumacinta basin, one of Mexico's most significant hydrological systems, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and important fisheries.

The plant discharges into the Grijalva-Usumacinta basin, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal region supports mangrove forests and estuarine habitats that are critical for fish spawning and migratory birds. The plant's proximity to the coast means that treated effluent can influence nearshore water quality and marine life.
