Lift stations are large concrete holes in the ground (typically round) that all of your waste drains into. Once the waste lands in your lift station and collects, powerful grinder pumps (redundancy is important) pump your waste up to the main city line. The pump is triggered by floats that turn on the pump much the same way as the float in your toilet turns off the water in your tank. Think of your lift station as a elevator for waste.
The central purpose of a lift station is to remove waste from your property by pumping waste from a site that is below grade up to a city sewer line.
