The purpose of this experimental work was to evaluate the operation of the wastewater treatment plant built on the banks of the Piñanato River. To begin the evaluation work, the necessary information was gathered, such as the socioeconomic activity of the population of Moraspungo, the location of the WWTP, the area it occupies, the population it serves, the treatment units of the WWTP, among others. Subsequently, an in situ work was carried out starting to measure the treatment units, the gauging of inflow and outflow through the volumetric method to determine the day and time of the most critical scenario, and take samples, which in the laboratory analysis showed results that some physical-chemical parameters do not comply with the provisions of the TULSMA standard for discharges into freshwater bodies, especially the following two parameters: Surfactants and True Color. Once all the necessary data had been collected and all the theoretical sizing calculations for each of the treatment units had been made, it was deduced that the FAFA was not working properly, in addition to the evidence of cracks in the septic tank.
