<br /> Wastewater System
<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 /> lines with 42 lift stations. After treatment, wastewater is returned to the San Marcos River.
<br /> Recent improvements increased the system capacity to serve a projected population of 46,000 in the year
<br /> 2000.
<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 /> Maintenance and inspection of the City's Wastewater System is accomplished by maintenance personnel
<br /> employed by the City's Water and Wastewater Department.
