Tiltonsville WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located along SR 7 in Warrenton, Jefferson County, Ohio. It serves a small community of about 1,763 people, typical of rural wastewater infrastructure in the Appalachian foothills region. As a US-based plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the US EPA's regulations for small wastewater systems. Such facilities typically employ secondary treatment or equivalent technologies to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements, which are enforced by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges to a nearby stream or river within the Ohio River basin, which ultimately drains to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Protecting local water quality is important for downstream aquatic habitats and recreational uses.
