Collection System
The City of Round Rock's wastewater collection system is made up of over 300 miles of collection lines.  These lines ultimately go to the Brushy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (BCRWWTP) either directly or through larger diameter regional interceptor lines owned by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA).  The City has a collection system rehabilitation program that includes cleaning and videoing  the collection system.  This program also includes inspecting and correcting "problem" areas that require regular maintenance.  This program is funded through water and wastewater utility funds.

Lift Stations
The City of Round Rock currently owns and operates 12 lift stations that pump wastewater to gravity sewer mains or to the Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (BCRWWTP).  An additional lift station located at the BCRWWTP will be online in late 2007.

Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment for the City of Round Rock takes place at the facilities owned by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), and operated by the Brazos River Authority (BRA) primarily at the Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (BCRWWTP).  The BCRWWTP is located west of the intersection of U.S. Highway 79 and Red Bud Lane.  The City of Round Rock's wastewater collection system is currently covered under the Wastewater Discharge Permit that is held by LCRA for the BCRWWTP.  This facility has just undergone an expansion which will enable the treatment of over 21 million gallons of wastewater per day from the plant's regional customers.  The regional customers include the cities of Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander and Austin, and the Fern Bluff and Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District.
