Wilson WWTP and Sewer System - Ohio Wastewater Treatment Plant

Wilson WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Wilson, Ohio, serving a small population of 118 residents. The plant is situated in Monroe County, within the rural landscape of southeastern Ohio. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for domestic wastewater. With a designed capacity of 37.85 million gallons per day and an actual discharge volume of 18.93 million gallons per day, the plant operates well below its capacity. The plant's discharge is regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway, likely a tributary of the Ohio River basin. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in the region, supporting aquatic life and recreational uses in the watershed.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Ohio River, which ultimately drains into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The Ohio River basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides drinking water for millions. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
