LImite Sur Wastewater Treatment Plant, Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico

LImite Sur is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Progreso neighborhood of Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The plant serves an estimated population of 11,865 residents, contributing to the sanitation infrastructure of this major Pacific coastal city. As a Mexican wastewater facility, LImite Sur operates under the national regulatory framework established by the Comisión Nacional del Agua (CONAGUA), which sets discharge standards for municipal wastewater. For plants serving communities of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet water quality objectives before discharge. The plant's treated effluent ultimately reaches the Pacific Ocean via local drainage systems. Acapulco's coastal waters support diverse marine life and are important for tourism and fisheries. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to protect water quality in the bay and surrounding coastal environment.

LImite Sur discharges into the Pacific Ocean via local streams and drainage channels in the Acapulco area. The receiving waters include Acapulco Bay, a semi-enclosed coastal embayment that supports mangrove ecosystems, seagrass beds, and coral communities. These habitats provide nursery grounds for fish and shellfish and are vital for local biodiversity. The bay's water quality is sensitive to nutrient inputs from urban runoff and treated wastewater, which can affect marine life and recreational uses.
