Holland WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in Holland, Texas

Holland WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on East Travis Street in Holland, Bell County, Texas. The plant serves a small population of 870 residents, reflecting the scale of this rural community in central Texas. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 757.08 units and an average daily discharge of 416.40 units, the facility operates below its maximum capacity, indicating room for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway that ultimately drains into the Brazos River basin, a major river system in Texas. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality and support the ecological health of the region's surface waters.

The plant's discharge enters a tributary of the Little River, which flows into the Brazos River and eventually reaches the Gulf of Mexico. The Brazos River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and communities. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic loads, mitigating potential impacts on downstream ecosystems.
