Ingram WWTP - Projected Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kerrville, Texas

Ingram WWTP is a planned wastewater treatment facility located in Kerrville, Texas, within the state's Hill Country region. Designed to serve a population of around 4,375, the plant is part of the municipal infrastructure for the city of Kerrville and surrounding areas. As a projected facility, it is not yet operational but will address local wastewater management needs. As a US-based plant serving a small population, Ingram WWTP will be subject to the Clean Water Act and likely permitted through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). For facilities of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, and discharge permits set limits on pollutants to protect water quality. The plant's discharge will likely flow into the Guadalupe River basin, which drains into the San Antonio Bay and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. The Guadalupe River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important resource for recreation and water supply in central Texas. Proper treatment at Ingram WWTP will help maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive watershed.

The plant will discharge into the Guadalupe River watershed, which flows through the Texas Hill Country to the San Antonio Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This river system supports diverse aquatic species and is a critical habitat for migratory birds. The region's karst geology makes groundwater particularly vulnerable to contamination, emphasizing the need for effective wastewater treatment.
