This work presents the implementation of a Sewage Treatment Station by roots zone in the school Epitacio Pessoa, located in Rural Community at Jacaré Seccion for the municipality Francisco Beltrao in the state of Parana. In this municipaly, only the urban population has sewage collection and treatment of sewage and knowing that the infrastructure is nonexistent sanitation in this community, developed a work of the environmental education with students and teachers at the school with subjects related to water pollution, environmental sanitation and diseases transmitted by water. The sensivity and exchange of information between those involved promoted a large acceptance by the local community, being possible to transfer this alternative technology to the sewage treatment. The partnership made with Environment Municipal Secretariat was substantial in the transfer of funds by FUNDEMA (Municipal Fund for the Environment) for project development. The STS (Sewage Treatment Station) by root zone was projected to serve 160 people and had a cost of R$ 3.833,53, which represents an average of R$ 24,00 by person. By treating of the simple method that does require skilled labor, be low cost and construction of the STS by roots zone to be decentralized, served as an instrument of social mobilization that promoted the participation and inclusion of the community in finding solutions to local problems. The SWT could serve as support environmental education which is used to clarify the importance of preserving water quality, allowing the inclusion of the concept of sustainable development in the small community of Jacaré Seccion. The difficulties that was arrived in implementing the project served as a learning and as evidence that the deployment of the STS by roots zone is possible, although worst soil conditions, terrain, and weather. The use of this alternative technology proved to be an effective solution in sewage treatment in rural communities who suffer the consequences of the lack of this service.
