Abstract

In this project, the treatment plant of the Hualcanga Santa Anita Community does not supply the entire sector due to population growth, and in the same way there is a deterioration of the treatment plant, which has affected the quality of life of the inhabitants of the sector. To meet the objective, relevant information for the project was collected, such as; topographical survey of the wells and pipe networks, in addition to this a population census was carried out to determine population growth, physical sanitary infrastructure, and laboratory tests to determine the functionality of the treatment plant. A redesign was carried out with the specifications of the TULSMA 2015 standard, and in addition to this, a grease trap and an artificial wetland were added in order to improve the WWTP process; In the same way, a sanitary hydraulic design of the sewage system was prepared, which complies with the regulations, making it more efficient, due to the fact that the concrete pipes were changed to PVC, and new branches were increased to supply more families in the community. The results obtained in the project showed that it is necessary to carry out maintenance of the treatment plant in the sector.
