Louisville WWTP and Sewer System | Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Louisville, Ohio

The Louisville WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 3100 Ravenna Avenue Northeast in Louisville, Stark County, Ohio. Serving a population of about 8,904, this plant is part of the region's essential water infrastructure, managing wastewater from the community and local businesses. As a facility in the United States, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. For a community of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet federal and state standards for effluent quality before discharge. The plant's treated effluent enters a local receiving water body, which ultimately drains into the Ohio River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for millions downstream. Proper treatment at this facility helps protect water quality in the region's streams and rivers.

The plant discharges into a local waterway that flows into the Ohio River basin, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. The Ohio River supports a variety of fish species and provides habitat for migratory birds. Protecting water quality in this watershed is critical for downstream communities and ecosystems, including the Mississippi River Delta and the Gulf of Mexico.
