Holly Springs POTW Number 1 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on Marianna Road in Marshall County, Mississippi. It serves a population of about 8,283 residents in the Holly Springs area. The plant is part of the region's infrastructure for managing domestic wastewater. As a facility in the United States, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act, which requires National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for all discharges. For a plant serving this population size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent limits set by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The treated effluent from Holly Springs POTW Number 1 is discharged into local streams that drain into the Yocona River, a tributary of the Tallahatchie River, which flows into the Yazoo River and ultimately the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for downstream communities and ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Yocona River watershed, which flows into the Tallahatchie River, part of the Yazoo River basin that empties into the Mississippi River. This region supports a variety of fish and wildlife, including migratory birds along the Mississippi Flyway. The plant's discharge must meet state and federal water quality standards to protect downstream aquatic habitats and recreational uses.
