Lott WWTP - Falls County, Texas Wastewater Treatment Plant

Lott WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Falls County, Texas, United States. The plant serves a small population of 820 residents and operates as part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 302.83 volume units and a discharge volume of 158.99, the plant operates within its capacity. As a US facility, it is regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent from Lott WWTP discharges into local streams that drain into the Brazos River, a major Texas waterway flowing to the Gulf of Mexico. The plant plays a key role in protecting the Brazos River basin from nutrient pollution and pathogens, supporting aquatic life and downstream water users.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Brazos River, which flows southeast through Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. The Brazos River basin supports diverse aquatic habitats and is an important resource for agriculture, recreation, and municipal water supply. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and suspended solids, mitigating eutrophication risks in the river and its estuary.
