This division operates two wastewater treatment plants for the City of Lockhart: Larremore Street Plant and FM 20. GBRA has been operating both plants since 1999. The capacity of the Larremore Street Plant is 1.1 MGD and the capacity of the FM 20 Plant is 1.5 MGD. The F.M. 20 Plant is an approved site for acceptance and treatment of septic tank waste.

An on-site laboratory conducts daily testing to ensure treated effluent meets all state and federal guidelines. Furthermore, “biomonitoring” tests are performed on two aquatic species – a microscopic crustacean and the Fathead minnow – to ensure that water discharged into the Guadalupe River is its highest quality for aquatic life and the environment.
