Starting in Kings Beach to Tahoe City, sewage is collected from the North Tahoe and Tahoe City public utility districts before being exported from the Basin through a 17-mile network of pipe.

The wastewater travels downhill along the Highway 89/Truckee River corridor, picking up more discharged wastewater from Alpine Springs County Water District and the Squaw Valley Public Service District, and finally from Truckee Sanitary District.

The five agencies that contribute wastewater to the system comprise the Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation District.
