Underground Utility Line Location

Customers must call 811 or 1-800-DIG-TEST (1-800-344-8378) at least two working days prior to beginning excavation. The hotline operator will notify local utilities of the dig location, and utility representatives will mark underground utilities with paint or flags. Private property utility lines will not be located by the representative.

Wastewater

The purpose of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and wastewater operators are accepting wastewater and returning the water safely back into the environment. The operators do this by maintaining the collection system which transports wastewater to the treatment plant. Once the wastewater reaches the treatment plant, the water passes through machinery to separate sanitary matter from the water. Then the wastewater goes through a biological process to eliminate other organisms from the wastewater. This process is carefully monitored by our wastewater operators to assure the public continues to enjoy a safe and healthy environment. 

The Wastewater Treatment Plant is restricted to the public.

If you believe you are having trouble or notice any concerns, please contact City Hall at (830) 796-3765. The Wastewater Treatment Plant and wastewater operators seek to deliver the best service and provide a safe and healthy environment.

All personnel in the Wastewater Department are required to hold a TCEQ license to work the Collection System to ensure water is safely returned to the environment.
