Implantação de sistema de esgotamento sanitário no bairro Vila Epitácio Cafeteira-trecho da Bacia do Rio Santo Antônio - no município de Paço do Lumiar/MA

Abstract

The Santo Antônio river basin has been deteriorating since the 1980s with the directing of domestic sewage in natura, untreated industrial effluent and solid waste in the riverbed. Only the municipality of São Luís, the state capital, has a sanitary sewage system in place. In the municipality of Paço do Lumiar only the recently built residential complexes have some alternative sewage treatment. A large percentage of sewage is not treated, compromising its water resources and soil, interfering also in the quality of life of the population. The study area does not have a collective sewage system, the domestic sewage is destined for individual alternatives or thrown directly into the soil, rivers and streams without treatment. This paper presents an intervention proposal in the Vila Epitácio Cafeteira neighborhood, in the municipality of Paço do Lumiar. The intervention proposal deals with the implementation of a collection network and a domestic sewage treatment plant in the neighborhood.
