MEDARYVILLE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Pulaski County, Indiana, United States. It serves a small community of 823 residents, providing essential sanitation services for the area. The plant is situated on National Street in the town of Medaryville. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater facilities. Its designed capacity is 253.62 volume units, matching the current discharge volume, indicating full utilization. As a small-scale facility, it falls under state-level NPDES permitting administered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Tippecanoe River, a tributary of the Wabash River, which flows to the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. The plant plays a role in protecting the water quality of these downstream aquatic ecosystems, supporting diverse freshwater habitats.

The plant discharges into the Tippecanoe River watershed, which flows into the Wabash River and eventually the Mississippi River system. This region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as bass and catfish, and provides important habitat for migratory waterfowl. The secondary treatment process helps reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge, contributing to the ecological health of the downstream rivers.
