HILLVIEW ACRES SUBD Wastewater Treatment Plant, Boone County, Missouri

HILLVIEW ACRES SUBD is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Boone County, Missouri, United States. The plant serves a small population of 215 residents, providing secondary treatment to meet state and federal water quality standards. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 83.28 units and a current discharge volume of 75.71 units, the facility operates within its capacity. Treatment processes typical for this scale include biological treatment followed by disinfection. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway that ultimately drains into the Missouri River watershed. This region supports diverse aquatic life and recreational uses, making proper treatment essential for protecting downstream water quality and ecosystem health.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Missouri River, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports agricultural and residential land uses, and the receiving water body is ecologically sensitive to nutrient loading and pathogen contamination. Secondary treatment helps reduce these impacts, safeguarding aquatic habitats and downstream water quality.
