The City of Cullman Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 4.75 mgd (million gallon per day) rated plant, with a state-of-the-art treatment facility.
Soiled wastewater is collected via one hundred miles, more or less, of varying size pipes. Wastewater is treated by a two-stage biological contact chamber system, and with clarification and ultraviolet disinfection. Treated water is then discharged into the receiving stream (Eightmile Creek).
Samples are routinely collected and tested, per ADEM (Alabama Department of Environmental Management) and federal regulations.
Tucked away in a peaceful wooded area off US Highway 278 East lies Duck River, a 640-acre man-made reservoir that provides Cullman, Alabama and the surrounding area with a long-term supplemental clean water source and doubles as a versatile outdoor recreation area open to the general public. More than 21 miles of safe and scenic hiking and biking trails that were designed in harmony with nature circumnavigate the lake, which has two boat launches and is stocked with a variety of fish. Regardless of whether you are training for the next marathon, trying to break your personal fishing record, or simply want to take a leisurely stroll in the shade, you are sure to enjoy the treasure that is Duck River.
Here are some of the general locations from the recent MLF and MossBack Duck River Artificial Habitat Project from May 11th! Around 85 structures were installed in and around these areas of the lake through the help of Major League Fishing-Fisheries Management Division, Berkley Labs, Mercury Marine MossBack Fish Habitat to host the Minn Kota Habitat Restoration Project. If you fish these areas, we ask that you do not move or alter them in anyway. Also, do not place unauthorized fishing habitats in the lake. Good Fishing!
