REDMOND Wastewater Treatment Plant, Redmond, Utah

The REDMOND wastewater treatment plant is located in Redmond, Sevier County, Utah, United States. It serves a small community of 730 residents, providing secondary treatment to municipal wastewater. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal discharges to protect water quality. The plant has a designed capacity of 378.54 megaliters and treats an annual discharge volume of 321.76 megaliters. As a secondary treatment facility, it uses biological processes to remove organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's operations are likely overseen by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, which issues NPDES permits for wastewater discharges in the state. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into a local water body, ultimately draining into the Sevier River basin. The Sevier River flows through central Utah and terminates at Sevier Lake, a terminal saline lake. The plant's discharge contributes to the water quality of this arid region, supporting downstream agricultural and ecological uses.

The REDMOND plant discharges into the Sevier River basin, which drains into Sevier Lake, a terminal saline lake in central Utah. The watershed is characterized by arid conditions and supports agricultural irrigation and wildlife habitat. Downstream ecosystems depend on consistent water quality, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic loads to the river.
