The facility is part of the region's water infrastructure, treating domestic wastewater from the community. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2,271.24 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 878.22 m³/day, the plant operates well within its capacity. As a US facility, it is regulated under the Clean Water Act and must comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Trinity River basin, ultimately reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and supports aquatic life in the region's streams and rivers.

Crandall WWTP discharges into the Trinity River basin, which flows southeast through Texas and empties into Trinity Bay, part of the Galveston Bay system on the Gulf of Mexico. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic habitats, including freshwater and estuarine species. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loading, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in downstream bays and estuaries.
