<br />WATERWORKS SYSTEM
<br />
<br />The City of San Marcos receives its total water supply from four existing wells tapping
<br />the Edwards Aquifer. The system is served from two pressure planes, the upper pressure
<br />plan serving the area above the Balcones Escarpment with the lower pressure plane serving
<br />the remainder of the City. The City's waterworks system is comprised of three pump
<br />stations, two ground storage tanks, and three elevated storage tanks. The system has a
<br />peak pumping capability of 9.5 million gallons per day, 9.36 million gallons of storage
<br />capacity, and maintains an average pressure of approximately 45 p.s.i.

<br />WASTEWATER SYSTEM
<br />
<br />The City of San Marcos currently owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities
<br />with a present combined permitted capacity of 3.85 MGD. The system consists of approx-
<br />imately 85 miles of collection lines with 42 lift stations. After treatment, waste-
<br />water is returned to the San Marcos River.
<br />
<br />The improvements being undertaken at this time will increase the system capacity to
<br />6.25 MGD and serve a projected population of 46,000 in the year 2000.
<br />
<br />Storm water is collected in an entirely seperate gravity feed storm system and is
<br />completely segregated from the sanitary sewer system. The storm sewer system is
<br />operated and maintained by the City's Department of Public Works.
<br />
<br />r~aintenance and inspection of the City's sewer system is accomplished by maintenance
<br />personnel employed by the City's Water and Wastewater Department.
