Mount Eaton WWTP and Sewer System - West Lebanon, Ohio Wastewater Treatment

Mount Eaton WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in West Lebanon, Paint Township, Wayne County, Ohio. Serving a small population of 275, the plant provides secondary treatment for the local community's wastewater needs. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 170.34 megaliters and an annual discharge volume of 113.56 megaliters, the facility is sized to handle the community's wastewater flows. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway that drains into the Tuscarawas River watershed, ultimately flowing to the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. This connection to major river systems underscores the importance of effective wastewater treatment for downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into a local stream that is part of the Tuscarawas River basin, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The secondary treatment process helps reduce organic pollutants and protect the ecological health of the receiving waters.
