DENVER WWTP - Miami County, Indiana Wastewater Treatment Plant

DENVER WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Miami County, Indiana, United States. It serves a small population of 600 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting within the state. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment process required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 189.27 volume units and a current discharge volume of 113.56 volume units, the plant operates below its capacity, indicating room for growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Mississippi River Basin, contributing to the overall water quality management of the region. The plant's operation supports the protection of downstream aquatic ecosystems and complies with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Wabash River, a major tributary of the Ohio River, which then joins the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and protect downstream habitats.
