EVA WWTP AND COLLECTION SEWERS - Eva, Alabama Wastewater Treatment Plant

EVA WWTP AND COLLECTION SEWERS is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Eva, Morgan County, Alabama. Serving a small population of 199 residents, the plant provides secondary treatment to meet Clean Water Act standards. Its designed capacity is 211.98 volume units, with a current discharge volume of 41.64 units. The plant operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which governs wastewater discharges into surface waters. As a secondary treatment facility, it uses biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the minimum federal requirements for municipal plants of this scale. The treated effluent is discharged into local streams that drain into the Tennessee River basin, ultimately reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in this rural agricultural region, supporting aquatic life and recreational uses in the watershed.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Tennessee River, which flows through northern Alabama before joining the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. This watershed supports diverse aquatic species and is important for regional water supply and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect downstream ecosystems.
