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.
