The City of Pevely Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is located in the Southwest portion of the city near Interstate 55.

The WWTP is meeting all effluent requirements with an average daily flow of 0.79 MGD.

In the Northwest corner of the City, also near Interstate 55 is a 0.065 MGD extended aeration WWTP. This facility serves a newly constructed 145 lot residential development called Hunters Glen. Currently there are 54 sewer connections with an average daily flow of 3,000 gallons per day.

The facility effluents are monitored and permitted through the Department of Natural Resources (Mo DNR)
