The existing Slater Sewer Lift Station, located at the Northwest corner of Slater Avenue and Springdale Street, was constructed in 1968 and is in need of replacement due to its age and insufficient wet well capacity. The issue concerning insufficient wet well capacity is problematic in two ways. First, the station lacks holding time, which limits maintenance staff’s ability to respond to any issues. Second, the undersized wet well causes the pumps to cycle excessively which reduces pump life and reduces the station’s reliability.
Construction is due to start mid-July. Please check back for updates.
