Influent wastewater is received and flow rate is measured using a [[Parshall flume]]. Following measurement, wastewater passes through a fine screen into a pump station, where it is lifted to a higher aerated degritter. It then enters the aeration basin for treatment, followed by a chlorine contact chamber, another flow meter and cascade aeration prior to discharge. Wasted activated sludge is sent from the aeration basin to sludge lagoons, then to drying beds. A flow equalization basin is adjacent to artificial wetlands onsite.<ref>{{ cite web |title= Process Flow Diagram |url= https://www.adeq.state.ar.us/ftproot/Pub/WebDatabases/PermitsOnline/NPDES/PermitInformation/AR0021571_Flow%20Diagram_20080331.pdf |publisher= ADEQ |accessdate= March 14, 2015 }}</ref> --> Treated effluent is discharged to Booneville Creek, ultimately draining to the [[Arkansas River]].<ref name="npdes" />
