WESTSIDE PUMP STATION

STATUS: Design for the new pump station is underway.

Due to the collection system growth on the west side of the city, a new regional pump station is needed to divert the west side flows away from the Rope Street station.  The project includes a complete triplex station, back-up generator, and a new 4500’ pressure main.  The new pump station will decrease operation and maintenance costs, decrease the difficulty with pump maintenance, and improve reliability by the use of smaller pump sizes associated with a triplex system.  This project will provide additional capacity and eliminate the need to enlarge the Rope Street station.

ESTIMATED COST AND BUDGET                    
Cost for the project is estimated at $2.165 million, to be funded by Sewer SDC, URA & Developer contribution.

COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT           
Essential Infrastructure: Develop a funding strategy and initiate the design and construction of high-priority projects from the newly updated Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Plans.

MILESTONES AND NEXT STEPS

A Request for Proposals for the design has been issued and an engineering consultant has been procured.

100% design to be completed by fall 2024 with construction occurring in winter/spring 2025.
