Achieving Environmental Goals

The North Shelby Wastewater Treatment Plant helps preserve the safety and purity of the Cahaba River watershed.

SouthWest Water Company engineered and built modifications to the North Shelby Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that reduced the average phosphorous level to just 0.2 parts per million at a reasonable cost, thereby protecting the precious resource that is the Cahaba River.

SouthWest Water personnel have adopted a portion of The Cahaba River, under Alabama’s Adopt-A-Stream Program.
