Robinson WWTP - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Robinson, Kansas

Robinson WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on 210th Street in Robinson, Brown County, Kansas. Serving a small population of 198 residents, the plant is part of the local infrastructure managed by the city. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for small communities. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's designed capacity of 147.63 units indicates it has room for growth, with current discharge at 75.71 units. The treated effluent from Robinson WWTP is discharged into a local waterway that ultimately drains into the Missouri River watershed. This river system supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for downstream communities. The plant's operation helps protect water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Missouri River, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports agricultural and natural habitats, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loading that could contribute to downstream hypoxia in the Gulf.
