The Town of Battle Mountain operates a state of the art wastewater treatment facility that was constructed in 2002. This plant was designed by Shaw Engineering, Reno. The facility produces a high quality effluent and includes influent screening, two sequential batch reactor tanks, an aerobic sludge digester, biosolids press and chlorine contact tank. The facility currently treats approximately 400,000 gallons per day, have the available capacity. Plant engineering and permitting can easily expand capacity to 1,200,000 gallons per day.

Lander County Sewer and Water District #2 serves a 560-acre area of the Town of Austin. The District currently serves approximately 120 residential and 40 commercial customers. Additionally, there are 93 inactive service connections and 20 standing order fees. The District is in the process of extending its main to serve the US Forest Service offices west of town in the Midas Canyon Road area. The District already serves Austin schools. Future extensions will be needed to the lower valley and airport areas.

The District utilizes primarily groundwater along with small amounts of surface water from two springs under a US Forest Service permit. A groundwater well exists at Reese River Valley, ands two horizontal wells exist, one in Pony Canyon and one in Marshall Canyon. The system includes three above ground storage tanks and two underground tanks with a total capacity of 500,000 gallons. Existing customers utilize 74 percent of the water currently under permit for the groundwater wells and 50 percent of all water resources including the water from the local springs.

Kingston has 145 active water users and has just completed a 3.9 million dollar water improvement project. Water is provided by two underground wells. All of Kingstonšs water distribution system is 5 years or newer. Residents rely on septic systems for sewer.
