BEULAH POTW - Beulah, Mississippi Wastewater Treatment Plant

BEULAH POTW is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Beulah, Bolivar County, Mississippi. The facility serves a small population of 459 residents and is part of the local infrastructure managed by the city. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal facilities of this scale. With a designed capacity of 170.34 thousand gallons per day and an average discharge volume of 90.85 thousand gallons per day, the plant operates within its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway that ultimately drains into the Mississippi River basin. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality in the Mississippi Delta region, supporting aquatic life and recreational uses.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River basin is a major ecological corridor supporting diverse fish and bird species. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could contribute to hypoxia in the Gulf.
