The purpose of Water/Wastewater Information System and Records Database is to track the progress of water supply and wastewater construction projects, including those being financed through the State Revolving Fund (SRF). The Department of Natural Resources’ Water Quality Bureau has the responsibility of reviewing projects, permitting water supply and wastewater construction, and facilitating SRF approvals. From water main installation to major drinking water treatment plant upgrades, from sewer extensions to new wastewater facilities, DNR staff work with applicants around the state to ensure that important public health and environmental protection goals are met. The public search function allows access to information about projects, including project managers, permits, approvals, and overall status.

The purpose of Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Operator Certification program is to ensure that water and wastewater operators have sufficient knowledge and experience to properly operate the system, and in turn protect human health and the environment. The database provides information on individual operators: certifications held, continuing education and current employment. It also provides information on facilities in need of certified operators.

The National Wastewater Treatment Facilities Database presents the spatial locations of Australia's known wastewater treatment plants.

The purpose of the National Wastewater Treatment Plants Database is to support decision makers from industry, governments and other interested parties make better, and more informed decisions based on evidence based information.

This dataset represents the locations, classifications, and physical characteristics of NPDES and SDS wastewater facilities regulated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The locations represent the treatment building and this data set does not contain locations of influent, effluent, ambient, or land application monitoring locations. Tribal permits are administered at the federal level and not represented here.

The Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides quality facility data to support EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment by identifying and geospatially locating facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations of environmental interest. Facility data is improved with geospatial processing of incoming data and data curation tools to provide an integrated, dataset to partners and the public through a variety of methods and products. For more detailed information about these facilities, use the FRS Query tool. This layer provides location and facility information for wastewater treatment plants from the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). The data are presented with three different view options at the facility level: 1.) display of Publicly Owned Treatment Works and Federal facilities, 2.) Display of all facilities, categorized as Major, Minor and Other/Nonclassified, and 3.) Display of facilities with Combined Sewer Outfalls. ICIS contains all Federal Administrative and Judicial enforcement actions and a subset of the Permit Compliance System (PCS), which supports the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). To learn more about ICIS click here or use the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database.

NOTICE: As of September 6, 2024, the wastewater surveillance dataset will now be hosted on: https://data.chhs.ca.gov/dataset/wastewater-surveillance-data-california. The dataset will no longer be updated on this webpage and will contain a historic dataset. Users who wish to access new and updated data will need to visit the new webpage.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) together are coordinating with several wastewater utilities, local health departments, universities, and laboratories in California on wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. Data collected from this network of participants, called the California Surveillance of Wastewater Systems (Cal-SuWers) Network, are submitted to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been used for the detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 virus shed into wastewater via feces of infected persons. Wastewater surveillance tracks ""pooled samples"" that reflect the overall disease activity for a community serviced by the wastewater treatment plant (an area known as a ""sewershed""), rather than tracking samples from individual people. Notably, while SARS-CoV-2 virus is shed fecally by infected persons, COVID-19 is spread primarily through the respiratory route, and there is no evidence to date that exposure to treated or untreated wastewater has led to infection with COVID-19.

Collecting and analyzing wastewater samples for the overall amount of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles present can help inform public health about the level of viral transmission within a community. Data from wastewater testing are not intended to replace existing COVID-19 surveillance systems, but are meant to complement them. While wastewater surveillance cannot determine the exact number of infected persons in the area being monitored, it can provide the overall trend of virus concentration within that community. With our local partners, the SWRCB and CDPH are currently monitoring and quantifying levels of SARS-CoV-2 at the headworks or ""influent"" of 21 wastewater treatment plants representing approximately 48% of California's population."

Since the 1980s, the FOEN (formerly the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape) has kept a database with information about the central ARA. The underlying original maps were drawn up by the operators of wastewater treatment plants each time a plant was opened but later, when technical improvements were made, they were not updated frequently or systematically. Information about key figures on wastewater disposal comes from a 2011 survey by the Swiss Water Association and is based on the SWA’s 2006 recommendations. The percentages of wastewater in receiving watercourses at low water were estimated as part of the FOEN’s “Strategy Micropoll” project. In future, the updated SWA recommendation will form the basis for definitions of the key figures. The survey will be carried out periodically. In addition, the FOEN surveys the condition of Switzerland’s communal wastewater disposal in cantons approximately every five years. This was last done on 01/01/2011.

This database shows the location of publicly owned treatment works, and other significant point source discharges to surface waters at or near the contiguous U.S. coastline. Three types of features are provided in this database; facility location, outfall pipes, and the outfall discharge point. Outfall pipes and discharge points may not be present for some facilities due to a lack of source data. A facility can be linked to its outfall pipe, discharge point and other National Pollution Discharge Elimination System records using the provided key field.

The waste water treatment data collection for Germany (DE-WWTP) was collected and put together at the UFZ in 2015/2016.

It is based on a query to all German federal states except Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen to provide the location of waste water treatment plants as well as the yearly load of nutrients to the receiving waters. The query was restricted to WWTPs with a population equivalent (PE) smaller then or equal to 2000 (data set 1). This data set was combined with the public available data for WWTPs with PE > 2000 (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/waterbase-uwwtd-urban-waste-water-treatment-directive-5, data set 2). The result (DE-WWTP) is a combination of both data sets containing all German WWTPs for all PE (data set 1 + data set 2).

DE-WWTP contains for most of the records the following information (sometimes only P or only N was reported): - Name of WWTP - federal state - coordinates of effluent - capacity of WWTP - PE (population equivalent) - size class of WWTP according to German law (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/abwv/anhang_1.html) - annual discharged P [kg/year] - annual discharged N [kg/year]

HydroWASTE is a spatially explicit global database of 58,502 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their characteristics. This database was developed by combining national and regional datasets with auxiliary information to derive or complete missing characteristics, including the amount of people served, the flow rate of effluents, and the level of treatment of processed wastewater. The HydroSHEDS river network with streamflow estimates was used to geo-reference plant outfall locations and to assess the distribution of wastewaters at a global scale. All wastewater treatment plants are co-registered to the global river network of the HydroRIVERS database via their estimated outfall locations.

The Water Quality Control Policy for Recycled Water (Recycled Water Policy) requires wastewater and recycled water dischargers (including dischargers that do not produce any recycled water) to annually report monthly volumes of influent, wastewater produced, and effluent, including treatment level and discharge type. As applicable, dischargers are additionally required to annually report recycled water use by volume and category of reuse. Data is self reported and submitted by dischargers through a reporting module in GeoTracker and collected on an annual basis.
