Typical aging Lift Station Piping

These existing screw pumps are a good example of the equipment throughout the system. They are 36 years old and cannot perform as designed. There are two pumps, each designed to handle the incoming sewage alone. There are two so if one fails, there is a backup.

Currently, only one can handle our incoming sewage and the other is used if the one can not keep up.
