Through the bibliographic information obtained and research carried out in situ in the study area, some problems were found around the wastewater treatment plant, one of them; pollution in the sewer network, dumping of solid waste and lack of environmental awareness. Against this, unpleasant odors are produced and vectors are increased. As for other services such as the sewerage system, it is working correctly. What is intended to be verified in the investigation is that the treatment plant complies with current environmental regulations such as the Unified Text of Secondary Environmental Legislation, complies with the range of maximum permissible limit of physical, chemical and biological parameters. Whose purpose is that the final product is free of contamination, to avoid damage to the environment and human health. To describe the type of treatment carried out within the treatment plant, the person in charge of the area had to be interviewed, who tells us that they use an anaerobic system, this being the most economically accessible but not modern, but has a capacity of 152 m3 and a flow rate of 20 liters per second, collecting the sewage from the eight sectors.
