Villa del Carbon Teneria Wastewater Treatment Plant, Villa del Carbón, Mexico

Villa del Carbon Teneria is a wastewater treatment plant located in Villa del Carbón, Estado de México, Mexico. The plant provides secondary treatment for a population of approximately 7,302 residents, with a designed capacity of 1,555.20 m³/day and a discharge volume of 691.20 m³/day. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant meets the standard treatment requirements for municipal wastewater in Mexico, which are regulated under the National Water Law (Ley de Aguas Nacionales) and overseen by the National Water Commission (CONAGUA). For a community of this size, secondary treatment is typical to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Pánuco River basin. The surrounding region is characterized by mountainous terrain and forests, and the plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Pánuco River basin, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and communities downstream. The secondary treatment process helps reduce nutrient and organic loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in receiving waters.
