Addison V STP - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Village of Addison, New York

Addison V STP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Village of Addison, Steuben County, New York. It serves a population of approximately 1,800 residents, providing secondary treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids from domestic wastewater. The plant is part of the region's infrastructure for managing water quality in rural upstate New York. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal wastewater discharges. With a designed capacity of about 1,590 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 734 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. The treatment process meets the national standards for biological oxygen demand and total suspended solids. Treated effluent from Addison V STP discharges to a local stream that flows into the Chemung River, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. The Susquehanna ultimately drains into the Chesapeake Bay, making the plant's performance important for downstream water quality and the health of the bay's ecosystem.

Addison V STP discharges into a local watercourse that feeds the Chemung River, which flows into the Susquehanna River and eventually reaches the Chesapeake Bay. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting aquatic habitats in the Chemung River basin and contributing to the broader Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts. The region's rural landscape and agricultural activities make effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining stream health.
