Its designed capacity is 22.46 volume units, and the current discharge volume is 20.74 volume units, indicating it operates near its design capacity. Under Mexican regulations, small treatment plants like this are typically required to meet effluent standards set by the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies, likely contributing to the regional drainage system that flows into the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, depending on the basin. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting local water resources and public health in the Coneto de Comonfort area.

The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the inland drainage system of Durango. The region is semi-arid, and water resources are critical for agriculture and ecosystems. The treated effluent supports downstream water availability and helps maintain ecological balance in the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Pacific Ocean via the Nazas River basin.
