WINDSOR WESTON HEIGHTS Wastewater Treatment Plant, Windsor, Vermont

WINDSOR WESTON HEIGHTS is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Windsor, Vermont, United States. The facility serves a small population of 114 residents and operates as part of the town's wastewater infrastructure in Windsor County. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 75.71 thousand cubic meters and an annual discharge volume of 37.85 thousand cubic meters, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Connecticut River watershed. The Connecticut River flows southward through New England and empties into Long Island Sound, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality in this ecologically important river system.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows through Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut before reaching Long Island Sound. The Connecticut River watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species such as Atlantic salmon and American shad. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping maintain water quality in this regionally significant river system.
