MOORE WWT Wastewater Treatment Plant, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

MOORE WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located at 7298 West Indian Hills Road in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Serving an estimated population of 46,830, the facility is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure managed under state and federal regulations. As a plant of this scale in the United States, MOORE WWT is subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program under the Clean Water Act. This regulatory framework requires secondary treatment as a baseline for municipal wastewater, ensuring that effluent meets water quality standards before discharge. The plant's capacity and treatment processes are designed to comply with these requirements. The facility discharges treated wastewater into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Canadian River, a tributary of the Arkansas River system. This river network flows through Oklahoma and Arkansas before reaching the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, making the plant's performance important for downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

MOORE WWT discharges into the Canadian River watershed, which flows into the Arkansas River and eventually the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic life and are used for recreation and water supply downstream. The plant's location in central Oklahoma places it in a semi-arid region where water quality management is critical for maintaining ecological balance and supporting regional water resources.
