Moscow WWTP and Sewer System - Advanced Treatment in Moscow, Ohio

The Moscow WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Moscow, Clermont County, Ohio, United States. It serves a small population of approximately 240 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. The plant is situated near the Ohio River, which is the primary receiving water body for treated effluent. The facility employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 90.85 units and a current discharge volume of 45.43 units, the plant operates well within its capacity. As a US facility, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and operates under an NPDES permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which sets strict effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated wastewater from the plant ultimately flows into the Ohio River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. This river system supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for millions downstream. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loading, contributing to the ecological health of the Ohio River basin.

The plant discharges into the Ohio River, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The Ohio River is a critical waterway supporting diverse fish populations and migratory birds. Advanced treatment reduces the risk of eutrophication and protects downstream aquatic habitats.
