Last Updated: October 2023 1. Introduction Louisiana’s wastewater infrastructure operates within one of the most hydro-geologically complex environments in the United States. Managing treatment capacity in a state defined by high water tables, subsidence, and significant industrial activity presents unique challenges for utility managers and consulting engineers. The state’s infrastructure is overseen by the Louisiana […]

Introduction Colorado sits at a unique geographical and regulatory intersection within the United States water sector. As a headwaters state, the effluent quality from Colorado’s wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) dictates the water health for millions of downstream users in the Colorado, Platte, Arkansas, and Rio Grande river basins. Consequently, the state maintains some of the […]

The authoritative resource for consulting engineers, utility managers, and infrastructure professionals tracking Georgia’s water reclamation sector. 1. Introduction: Georgia’s Water Reclamation Landscape Georgia’s wastewater infrastructure is defined by a unique combination of rapid metropolitan growth, strict regulatory requirements due to interstate water sharing (the Tri-State Water Wars), and a diverse geography ranging from the Appalachian […]

1. Introduction Indiana’s wastewater infrastructure is currently undergoing one of the most significant transformation periods in the state’s history. Driven by the need to remediate Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) in river-adjacent cities and support the rapid suburban growth in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, the Hoosier state represents a robust market for engineering services and treatment […]

1. Introduction Nevada operates within one of the most challenging hydrological environments in the United States. As the nation’s driest state, the engineering focus of Nevada’s wastewater infrastructure is uniquely centered on advanced water reclamation and indirect potable reuse (IPR). Unlike many states where “disposal” is the primary goal, Nevada’s major facilities view effluent as […]

Table of Contents Introduction Recent Developments Top 20 Largest Treatment Plants Approved Budgets & Expansion Projects Regulatory & Compliance Landscape Technology Trends Directory of Facilities FAQ Introduction Oregon’s wastewater infrastructure represents a critical intersection of environmental stewardship and engineering resilience. Serving a population of approximately 4.2 million residents, the state’s network comprises over 250 permitted […]

Introduction Missouri sits at the confluence of the nation’s two largest rivers—the Mississippi and the Missouri—making water quality management a critical priority for the state. The wastewater infrastructure landscape in Missouri is characterized by a dichotomy between massive metropolitan districts in St. Louis and Kansas City and a vast network of smaller municipal and rural […]

1. Introduction Tennessee’s wastewater infrastructure landscape is currently undergoing its most significant transformation in decades, driven by rapid population growth in the Nashville-Murfreesboro corridor and massive consent decree-driven overhauls in Memphis, Chattanooga, and Nashville. The state operates under the regulatory oversight of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), managing a network of over […]

Executive Summary: Arizona is a national leader in water reclamation and reuse. With the Colorado River shortage intensifying, the state is heavily investing in Advanced Water Purification (AWP) for Direct Potable Reuse (DPR). Current active capital projects exceed $1.5 billion, focusing on capacity expansion in the rapid-growth “Sun Corridor” and technological retrofits for aquifer recharge. […]

1. Introduction Maryland’s wastewater infrastructure is defined by a single, overriding geographical feature: the Chesapeake Bay. As the largest estuary in the United States, the Bay dictates the regulatory and technological landscape for the state’s water environment. Maryland is home to approximately 320 public wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) that treat over 650 million gallons of […]
