WARNER UA WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Warner, Muskogee County, Oklahoma, United States. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,597 residents, classifying it as a small-scale treatment facility under the US EPA regulatory framework. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 1,059.91 thousand cubic meters per year and an actual discharge volume of 605.67 thousand cubic meters per year, the facility operates below its design capacity. As a US facility, it operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, ultimately contributing to the Arkansas River watershed. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Arkansas River, which flows through Oklahoma and Arkansas before joining the Mississippi River. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for recreation and agriculture. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and ecological health.
