LUBLIN WWTP - Lublin, Wisconsin Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant

LUBLIN WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Lublin, Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States. The facility serves a small population of 119 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. The plant is situated on South Street in the village of Lublin. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater facilities. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to remove organic matter and suspended solids. The plant has a designed capacity of 75.71 cubic meters per day and currently treats an average daily flow of 37.85 cubic meters per day, indicating it operates well below its design capacity. The treated effluent is discharged to a local water body, likely a stream or river within the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The plant's location inland and away from coastal areas reduces direct marine impacts. The surrounding region is part of the Wisconsin Driftless Area, known for its spring-fed streams and diverse aquatic habitats. The plant's operation helps protect local water quality and supports the ecological health of downstream waters.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Upper Mississippi River Basin. This region features sensitive coldwater streams that support trout populations and other aquatic life. The secondary treatment provided by the plant helps reduce nutrient and organic pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Mississippi River system.
