<br />WASTEWATER SYSTEM
<br />
<br />The City of San Marcos currently owns and operates one wastewater treatment facility with a present
<br />combined permitted capacity of 6.25 MGD. The system consists of approximately 85 miles of collection
<br />Hnes with 42 lift stations. After treatment, wastewater is returned to the San Marcos River.
<br />
<br />Recent improvements increased the system capacity to serve a projected population of 46,000 in the year
<br />2000.
<br />
<br />Storm water is collected in an entirely separate gravity feed storm sewer system and is completely
<br />segregated from the sanitary sewer system. The storm sewer system is operated and maintained by the
<br />City's Department of Public Works.
<br />
<br />Maintenance and inspection of the City's sewer system is accomplished by maintenance personnel
<br />employed by the City's Water and Wastewater Department.
