Franklinville V WWTP - Village of Franklinville, New York Wastewater Treatment Plant

Franklinville V WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 23 Pennsylvania Avenue in the Village of Franklinville, Cattaraugus County, New York. It serves a population of approximately 2,635 residents, classifying it as a small community system under US regulatory standards. As a US-based plant, it operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. For small communities, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent limits for biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges to a local waterway within the Allegheny River basin, which ultimately drains to the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for downstream communities.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Allegheny River, part of the larger Ohio-Mississippi River system. This watershed supports diverse fish populations and provides habitat for migratory birds. The region's rural character means the plant's effluent quality is important for maintaining local stream health and downstream water quality.
