The Wastewater system for the City of Barnwell consists of the Wastewater Treatment Facility and 6 lift stations. The Wastewater Treatment Facility is a conventional activated sludge treatment facility designed to meet federal and state regulations.

At present, the plant treats approximately 1.2 million gallons per day, leaving 1.8 million gallons available. Commercial waste counts for about 40% of all treated waste.
