BEVERLY WWTP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Beverly, West Virginia

BEVERLY WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Beverly, Randolph County, West Virginia. Serving a small population of 771 residents, the facility is part of the region's infrastructure for managing domestic wastewater in the Appalachian foothills. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, exceeding the secondary treatment standard required by the US Clean Water Act. With a designed capacity of 1287.04 million gallons per year, it operates at approximately 56% utilization, treating an average daily flow of 1.97 million gallons. As a US facility, it operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into a local receiving water body that drains into the Tygart Valley River, a tributary of the Monongahela River, which ultimately flows into the Ohio River and Mississippi River system. The plant plays a key role in maintaining water quality in this headwater region, supporting aquatic life and downstream recreational uses.

The plant discharges into a small stream that feeds the Tygart Valley River, part of the Monongahela River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic species and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The advanced treatment helps protect sensitive headwater ecosystems from nutrient enrichment and pathogen contamination.
