Hebron WWTP and Sewer System - Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Hebron, Ohio

The Hebron WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Hebron, Ohio, United States. It serves a population of approximately 2,820 residents in the village and surrounding areas of Licking County. The plant is part of the local infrastructure managed by the village's public works department. As a small-scale facility, the plant is subject to the U.S. Clean Water Act and operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. For communities of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent limits for biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into a receiving water body that flows into the Licking River, a tributary of the Muskingum River, which ultimately drains into the Ohio River. The Licking River watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides recreational opportunities for the region.

The Hebron WWTP discharges into a local stream that feeds the Licking River, a major tributary of the Muskingum River system. The Licking River watershed drains parts of central Ohio and supports a variety of fish and macroinvertebrate species. Downstream, the Muskingum River flows into the Ohio River, which is a critical waterway for the region. The plant's discharge must meet state water quality standards to protect aquatic habitats and downstream uses such as recreation and drinking water supply.
