MIDWAY LAND APPLICATION Wastewater Treatment Plant, Midway, Alabama

MIDWAY LAND APPLICATION is a wastewater treatment plant located on Pleasant Hill Road in Midway, Bullock County, Alabama, United States. The plant serves a small population of 460 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater facilities. With a designed capacity of 567.81 thousand cubic meters per year and an actual discharge volume of 302.83 thousand cubic meters per year, the plant operates well within its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Alabama River system. The plant's inland location, more than 50 km from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality of the watershed.

The plant discharges into the Alabama River basin, which flows into Mobile Bay and then the Gulf of Mexico. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including several fish species and migratory birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and protect downstream water quality.
