COFFEEVILLE POTW - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Coffeeville, Mississippi

COFFEEVILLE POTW is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Coffeeville, Yalobusha County, Mississippi. The facility serves a small population of approximately 1,000 residents and operates as part of the region's water infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 567.81 cubic meters per day and an average discharge volume of 442.89 cubic meters per day, the facility operates below its design capacity. The plant is regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, administered by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Yalobusha River, a tributary of the Yazoo River, which flows into the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides important habitat for fish and wildlife in the Mississippi Delta region.

The plant discharges into a local stream that feeds the Yalobusha River, part of the Yazoo River basin, which flows into the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish and migratory birds. The Mississippi River ultimately drains into the Gulf of Mexico, where nutrient pollution from upstream sources can contribute to hypoxic zones.
