ROOSEVELT PWA WWT - Roosevelt, Oklahoma Wastewater Treatment Plant

ROOSEVELT PWA WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Roosevelt, Kiowa County, Oklahoma. Serving a small population of 280, the plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level for communities of this size in the United States. The plant's designed capacity is 113.56 volume units, matching its discharge volume. As a US facility, it operates under the Clean Water Act, with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring compliance with effluent limits. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, ultimately contributing to the Red River basin. This watershed supports agricultural and ecological systems in southwestern Oklahoma, and the plant's secondary treatment helps protect downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Red River, which flows through Oklahoma and Texas before emptying into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, mitigating impacts on the downstream ecosystem.
