HOYT WWTP - Jackson County, Kansas Wastewater Treatment Plant

HOYT WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Jackson County, Kansas, United States. Serving a small population of 571 residents, the plant provides secondary treatment to meet state and federal water quality standards. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act framework, which requires secondary treatment for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 283.91 units and a current discharge volume of 215.77 units, the facility manages local wastewater from the surrounding community. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Kansas River basin, supporting downstream aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a role in protecting water quality in the region's agricultural landscape.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Kansas River, which flows into the Missouri River and then the Mississippi River, eventually reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and recreation. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect downstream water quality.
