Permits that may be required will be evaluated as part the design development.

Lift stations (LS) use mechanical equipment (pumps) and pressurized piping (force main) to lift fluid from a low elevation point to a higher elevation and transport flows to the gravity portions of the collection system. Lift stations can be categorized by their configuration as centrifugal pump lift stations (dry well) or submersible pump lift stations (wet well).

Lift Station (LS) 709 - Records from the lift station are not available to establish its exact age, but per JBC it was last renovated circa 1991. LS 709 is a dry well type lift station.

On top of the pump chamber there is an electrical building with a roof structure housing control panels and electrical equipment. Outside the building there is a rectangular open top wet well divided in chambers which includes a grinder mounted at the inlet. A flow meter vault is also part of the lift station layout. The depth of the pump chamber and wet well are approximately 20 ft.

The demolition will include removal of the wet well, brick building and pump room, and small sections of force main and gravity sewer line. The lift station site has drywell pump control panels, diesel generator, generator automatic transfer switch, electrical panel boards, dry-type transformer, pump variable frequency drives, dry-well pumps and lighting fixtures that are operational and will be removed.
