All sanitary sewage within the corporate limits of the City of Roswell is collected in a network of pipes and transmitted to an existing sewage treatment plant operated by the City. This plant is located east of the city at 2800 East College Blvd. The locations and pipe sizes of the wastewater interceptor pipe network are illustrated on Figure 6, Public Utilities.
