Owned by the local government, this facility is regulated and permitted by the state, ensuring that it meets strict environmental standards. The plant's primary purpose is debris control, with an earth dam standing at 16 feet high and 8500 feet long completed in 1980 to help manage water flow in the Snake River offstream.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the Jackson Wastewater Treatment Plant is well-maintained and poses minimal risk to the surrounding area. Emergency preparedness measures are in place, although the last inspection was conducted in October 2019. Despite its remote location in Teton County, this facility is a critical piece of infrastructure for the city of Jackson, providing essential services for residents and businesses while safeguarding the local environment and water resources.
