About our Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)

BCSS provides sewer service to thousands of ERUs (equivalent residential units) throughout Baldwin County, including single-family homes, multi-family properties and commercial buildings and developments. All of the wastewater (sewage) from our customers is transported through main sewer lines and lift stations to our wastewater treatments plants (WWTPs), which are listed below in detail. BCSS is continually updating and expanding areas of main sewer lines, lift stations and wastewater treatment plants to prevent sanitary sewer overflows and accommodate growth in Baldwin County. You can tour any of our plants by contacting us to make an appointment, and we welcome school field trips.
