Church Street Stormwater pumping station pump improvements

completed

The Church St. Storm Pumping Station is a small storm water pumping station comprising a concrete wet well (estimated volume of 3 m3) housing a single 0.5 horsepower submersible pump, and an above grade control panel. The wet well inlet is constantly submerged indicating the storm water pumping station performance is poor or the force main is regularly clogging. The storm water pump will be replaced along with float system and minor electrical upgrades to improve the performance of the pumping system. In addition, the force main will be further evaluated to determine the cause of the clogging issue. Stand-by equipment will be required to ensure pumping is not interrupted during the retrofit of the pumping station.
