STRINGTOWN PWA WWT - Stringtown, Oklahoma Wastewater Treatment Plant

STRINGTOWN PWA WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Stringtown, Atoka County, Oklahoma. Serving a small population of 415 residents, the plant provides secondary treatment to meet local sanitation needs. The facility is situated inland, far from coastal zones, and discharges treated effluent into the local watershed. The plant operates under the US Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 181.70 megaliters and an annual discharge volume of 151.42 megaliters, the facility manages the wastewater generated by the community. The treatment process is secondary, which is standard for small agglomerations in the United States. The treated effluent from STRINGTOWN PWA WWT enters the local drainage system, eventually flowing into the Red River basin and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. This contributes to the ecological health of downstream water bodies, supporting aquatic life and maintaining water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the local watershed within the Red River basin, which drains into the Mississippi River and then the Gulf of Mexico. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish and migratory birds. The region's semi-arid climate means that maintaining water quality is crucial for both ecological balance and downstream water users.
