RAYMONDVILLE WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Kelly Road in Raymondville, Texas County, Missouri. It serves a small population of 363 people, typical of rural communities in the Ozarks region. The plant provides advanced treatment, exceeding the secondary treatment standard required by the US Clean Water Act for facilities of this scale. With a designed capacity of 211.98 units and a current discharge volume of 136.28 units, the plant operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Treated effluent from the plant flows into local streams that are part of the Upper White River Basin, ultimately draining into the White River and then the Mississippi River system. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in this ecologically sensitive region, which supports diverse aquatic life and recreational uses.

The plant discharges into small streams within the Upper White River Basin, which drains into the White River and eventually the Mississippi River. This region features karst topography with springs and caves, making groundwater particularly vulnerable to contamination. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and drinking water sources.
