Study Phase
9
• Fall 2020 study:
– Evaluated existing conditions – flow analysis, hydraulic
assessment, site & equipment assessment.
– Alternative analysis and recommendation to rehabilitate the
pump stations.
• Criteria: Community impacts, schedule, cost, constructability,
maintainability, operability, reliability
• Recommended Alternative:
– Construct a parallel pump station on the same parcel
– Repurposing 4 existing below-ground structures & installing 2
new below-ground structures
– Pump station building will remain & new generator to be
installed outside
– Sewer services will not be impacted
