Elm Mott WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in McLennan County, Texas

Elm Mott WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in McLennan County, Texas, United States. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,200 residents in the Elm Mott area, operating as part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the US Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. With a design capacity of 757.08 megaliters per year and an actual discharge volume of 302.83 megaliters per year, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Brazos River basin. The Brazos River flows through central Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, supporting diverse aquatic habitats and providing water for agricultural and municipal use downstream.

The plant's discharge enters the Brazos River watershed, which drains into the Gulf of Mexico. The Brazos River is a major water source for Texas, supporting fish populations and migratory birds. The river's estuary near the Gulf is an ecologically sensitive area that relies on adequate water quality from upstream treatment plants.
