Water discharged into drains or sewers, water received by water treatment plants or water discharged directly to the environment is all considered wastewater. Wastewater includes all return flows of water to the environment, regardless of quality.

Discharge of wastes means the introduction or addition to waters of sewage, industrial wastes, and all other liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive, or other substances that may pollute or tend to pollute any waters of the State.

Most wastewaters are required to be discharged to the sanitary sewer, so pollutants can be removed by the POTW prior to discharge to surface water. Treatments include flocculation, settling, filtration, biological treatment, and disinfection.

Our water is provided through Northern Area Water Authority (NAWA), a joint venture between the Cities of Tipp City and Vandalia. Tipp City staff operates the water treatment plant and Vandalia staff provides the day to day financial management of the plant.

The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. As solid material decays, it uses up oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water.

There are three common destinations for wastewater: Direct discharge to surface waters of the state. Direct discharge to land that enters groundwater of the state. Indirect discharge of wastewater to waters of the state via a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) (wastewater treatment plant).
