""Union County Water owns and operates five wastewater treatment plants, or Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF). Each of these facilities treat wastewater from specific drainage areas:

  • Twelve Mile Creek (our primary wastewater treatment plant),
  • Crooked Creek;
  • Tallwood Estates;
  • Grassy Branch; and
  • Olde Sycamore.

Our staff closely monitors the wastewater treatment capacities at our facilities. Permitting capacity is evaluated using the actual plant flows plus the permitted/obligated flows. The data below is updated monthly. The data captured for a given month is published approximately 4-6 weeks after it has been collected, to allow time for processing and reporting.
