Project Description
The City's fourteen (14) lift stations are periodically repaired and upgraded as part of the ongoing maintenance
program.
During FY 15/16 Lift Stations D, F, J, K & W repairs and upgrades were designed. FY 16/17 will see the construction
of these five stations including coating the transfer wells, new motor assemblies, controls and electrical
components. These improvements are necessary because each station was at the end of their life expectancy.
Lift Stations F-LS: Replace 900 LF Force Main: FY 16/17 - There are approximately 900' of force main, connected
to Lift Station F that must be replaced as it is difficult to access and the piping is failing.
Project Justification
This ongoing program of rehabilitating the City's lift stations reduces overflows and ensures their compliance
with the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements. Replacing the Lift Station F force main for better
access will allow crews to discover and respond faster to pipe failures in the future. The existing force main for
Lift Station F has ruptured before, a signal that the pipeline has reached its end of life cycle.
