Twin City WWTP and Sewers - Uhrichsville, Ohio Wastewater Treatment Plant

Twin City WWTP and Sewers is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Serving a population of about 9,862, the plant is part of the region's infrastructure for managing domestic and industrial wastewater. The facility is situated inland, more than 50 kilometers from the nearest coast, and discharges into the local watershed. As a U.S. wastewater treatment plant, Twin City WWTP operates under the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. EPA and the Ohio EPA. For a population of this size, secondary treatment is typically required, and the plant is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting. Regulatory standards ensure compliance with effluent limits. The plant's treated effluent enters the Tuscarawas River basin, which flows into the Muskingum River and eventually the Ohio River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The plant's operations are critical for protecting water quality in this inland river system.

Twin City WWTP discharges into the Tuscarawas River, a tributary of the Muskingum River, which flows into the Ohio River. The Ohio River is a major waterway that ultimately drains to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The watershed supports diverse aquatic species and is used for recreation and drinking water. The plant's location in a rural area means its discharge can significantly affect local stream health, particularly during low-flow conditions.
