    This study was initiated in response to the urgent need to improve the sanitary and environmental conditions of the area, driven by the impact of population growth and the lack of adequate infrastructure for wastewater management. The methodology included a comprehensive diagnosis of the study area, based on topographic surveys, analysis of current and projected population data, and water quality studies. Hydraulic calculations were performed to size the sewer networks and select the optimal components for the treatment plant, considering both national and international technical standards. The design was further enhanced through computational simulations using specialized software to ensure the system's functionality and efficiency. The results revealed that the project would benefit a population of approximately 350 inhabitants, with a projected population growth rate of 4.56 percent over a 30-year design horizon, calculated using the geometric method. The proposed system included PVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 200 millimeters and a total length of 618.44 meters for the sanitary sewer system, designed to handle a maximum flow of 141 liters per person per day. The wastewater treatment plant was designed to process an average flow of 261.79 cubic meters per day. A system incorporating pretreatment, primary, secondary, and tertiary treatments, along with sludge treatment, was selected. This choice was based on a BOD5 to COD ratio of 43.91 percent and the high fecal coliform content identified in water analyses, categorizing the wastewater as highly biodegradable. As a result, the proposed design not only improves basic sanitation conditions but also contributes to preserving the region's water resources by reducing environmental pollution. A general budget of one hundred twenty-eight thousand two hundred thirty dollars and seventy-three cents was projected for the implementation of the system.
