ALMOND WWTP - Secondary Treatment Facility in Almond, Wisconsin

ALMOND WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Almond, Portage County, Wisconsin, United States. The facility serves a small population of 457 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the US Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 128.70 units and an average discharge volume of 113.56 units, the plant operates within its capacity. As a US facility, it operates under an EPA NPDES permit issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, ensuring compliance with discharge limits. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Wisconsin River basin and then the Mississippi River. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in this agriculturally intensive region of central Wisconsin.

The plant discharges into the Wisconsin River watershed, which flows southward to the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The region supports diverse aquatic life, including game fish species, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could contribute to algal blooms in downstream waters.
