BROOKVILLE WWTP - Brookville, Indiana Wastewater Treatment Plant

BROOKVILLE WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Brookville, Franklin County, Indiana, United States. The plant serves a population of around 4,135 people, classifying it as a small to medium-sized agglomeration under typical U.S. regulatory frameworks. As a U.S. facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act, administered by the EPA and likely permitted through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local streams that flow into the Whitewater River, a tributary of the Ohio River. The Ohio River ultimately drains into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The surrounding watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality.

The plant discharges into the Whitewater River watershed, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. This inland basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish and macroinvertebrate communities. The area is not coastal, reducing direct marine impact, but the plant's discharge contributes to the overall nutrient and pollutant load in the Mississippi River system, which has implications for the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone.
