In this video you will learn about pumps and pump stations and their importance in our collection system to safely move waste from your homes and businesses to a treatment plant. The pump stations are required due to the hilly geography of the service area. The wastewater needs to be pumped up the hills into the gravity pipelines. These pump stations range in size from lift stations serving residential communities to larger regional size pump stations that convey wastewater to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility for treatment.
