The original pump station was constructed in 1990 and much of the associated equipment is at the end of its useful life. Replacing the pump station will increase pump efficiency, seismic resiliency, reduce energy costs, and provide flexibility in filling water system reservoirs serving various pressure zones. Additionally, the aboveground facility will provide easier maintenance access and reduce the costs formerly associated with the confined space entry requirements to the underground vault, which required multiple staff members with certification to meet safety regulations.
