At the WWTP, wastewater passes through a bar screen, Parshall Flume, lagoon 1 (one completely mixed cell followed by two partially mixed cells), Lagoon 2 (facultative), Lagoon 3 (facultative), and optional chlorine/de-chlorination chambers. The plant has a design capacity of {{convert|1.75|e6gal|L}} per day, and discharges treated effluent to the [[Arkansas River]] in accordance with the city's [[Clean Water Act|NPDES]] permit administrated by the [[Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality]].
