Union Co Parrott Village WWTP is a wastewater treatment facility located in Union County, Ohio, United States. The plant serves a small community of 115 people, reflecting its role in rural wastewater management within the state. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent. With a designed capacity of 75.71 units and a current discharge volume of 87.06 units, the facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which mandates National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for all discharges into surface waters.

This contributes to the protection of downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality in the region.

The plant's discharge enters local streams within the Scioto River watershed, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River. This region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as smallmouth bass and channel catfish. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality.
