Waverly WWTP and Sewer System - Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Waverly, Ohio

Waverly WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Waverly, Ohio, serving a population of about 6,200. The plant is situated in Pike County, part of the Appalachian region, and handles domestic wastewater from the community. As a U.S. facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act, requiring a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. For a population of this size, secondary treatment is typically mandated, which involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway, likely a tributary of the Scioto River, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats in the Ohio River basin.

The plant discharges into a local stream that is part of the Scioto River watershed, which drains into the Ohio River. The Ohio River is a major tributary of the Mississippi River, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions. The plant's discharge must meet state water quality standards to protect fish and macroinvertebrate communities in the receiving stream.
