New Germany WWTF - Camden Township, Minnesota Wastewater Treatment Plant

New Germany WWTF is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Camden Township, Carver County, Minnesota, United States. The plant serves a small population of 356 residents and operates as part of the local infrastructure managed by the township. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 280.12 million gallons and an annual discharge volume of 196.84 million gallons, the facility operates below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Minnesota River Basin, which flows into the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Upper Midwest.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Minnesota River, which flows into the Mississippi River, a major waterway that drains into the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic species and is part of a larger ecosystem that includes wetlands and agricultural lands. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
