Why is there a sewage pump station in my front yard, neighborhood, or Cul de Sac?
There are 8 pump stations located throughout the town to pump sewage in areas where gravity transportation is not an option. Pump Stations are typically in low areas of the system and will pump sewage up hill to a gravity line and continues toward the wastewater treatment plant. These stations do not process sewage; however they must be functional 24 hours/day. These stations have alarm systems associated with them and in a couple situations a generator to provide back up power in the event of a power outage. You may see a red light flashing at a station once in a great while. This indicates an alarm has likely been transmitted via alarm dialer. If you notice a flashing red light especially at the Broadleaf or Maple Ridge pump stations please notify us immediately at 877-6095.
