The grinder pump system basin collects the wastewater which is ground up and pumped by a pressure pump through the customer's yard line to the City's sewer mainline. The main lines transport the wastewater to large collection basins called lift stations. The lift stations collect wastewater from a large geographical area usually defined by the topographical nature of the collection area. The wastewater is then pressurized and pumped through large mainlines called trunk lines that transport the wastewater to the treatment plant to be treated.
As of October 2018, the City of Horseshoe Bay maintains 3,606 individual grinder pump systems, 88 miles of wastewater mainlines, and 9 wastewater lift stations in the wastewater collection system.
