  10. What Private Utilities Need to Know About Nutrient Loading and Eutrophication 8/7/2025

    For private utilities, discharging wastewater isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. If your facility serves a resort, a golf course, a residential community, or a mixed-use development, you’re likely discharging into smaller, localized water bodies (creeks, ponds, wetlands), not large rivers or oceans. And while these ecosystems are beautiful they’re also incredibly vulnerable to nutrient loading and eutrophication.
