The City of White House operates a publicly owned wastewater collection system (CS) consisting of over 100 miles of collection piping, 15 pump stations, and a 1.3 million gallons per day (MGD) wastewater treatment facility. This collection system and wastewater facility is maintained by a staff of (12) including but not limited to a Wastewater Manager, Chief Operator, Collections Supervisor, Inspector, several utility workers, and a number of operators.

Every day, wastewater goes down toilets and drains in homes, schools, and businesses which ends up at the City of White House Wastewater Treatment Facility. The city biologically treats wastewater for contaminants before it is discharged into the Frey Branch waterway.

The current WWTP was placed into operation in 2007 with a rated capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (MGD) average daily flow (ADF) and 2.0 MGD peak hydraulic flow (wet weather).

In 2020 the wastewater facility is scheduled to begin implementing upgrades that include 5 stage Bardenpho Carrousel® process.  The Carrousel System utilizes the Modified Lutzack-Ettinger (MLE) configuration for highly efficient denitrification. This process is known as the denitIR® System, where internal recycle (IR) flow is directed into the anoxic zone via a slip-stream channel using propulsion generated by the ExcellAerator.
