The treated effluent from N TYGER RIV WWTP discharges into local streams that flow into the Broad River, a tributary of the Congaree River, which ultimately reaches the Atlantic Ocean via the Santee River system. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in the Broad River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic life and recreational uses.

The plant's discharge enters the Broad River basin, which drains into the Congaree River and then the Santee River before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. This watershed supports a variety of fish and wildlife, including species that rely on clean water for spawning and habitat. The region's Piedmont geography means streams are sensitive to nutrient loading and sedimentation, making effective treatment essential for downstream ecological health.
