What the heck is a "Lift Station" and why might I have one???!!!

What are Lift Stations??!!

 

 

The plain English version goes like this....Lift Stations are designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevation, especially where the source is not enough for gravity flow.

Lift stations include a wastewater well often equipped with a screen to sift out large materials; pumps and piping with associated valves; motors; a power supply system; an equipment control and alarm system; and an odor control system and ventilation system.

 Lift station equipment and systems are often installed in an enclosed structure. They can be purchased prefabricated or you can have a system custom made to fit your needs.

Lift stations are meant to lower the sewer system construction cost.  When gravity sewers are installed in trenches deeper than 10 feet, the cost of sewer line installation increases because of the more costly excavation equipment and trench shoring techniques required.
