Description

Lift Station No. 1 and its associated force main were built in 1974 and have been deteriorating due to continuous exposure to wastewater. Due to this exposure the force main needs significant rehabilitation or replacement. A study was performed to explore the feasibility to divert flows from Lift Station No. 1 by gravity to the 42-inch gravity sanitary sewer line shown on the attached map. The study results indicated that it was possible to divert the flows via gravity allowing the abandonment of the lift station and force main. This abandonment would reduce operation and maintenance costs as well as remove aging infrastructure from the wastewater system. Work Order No. 1 includes Final Design and Procurement Assistance of a proposed 18-inch gravity main from the existing Lift Station No. 1 influent line to the tie-in point at the existing 42-inch gravity main at the intersection of Woodlands Parkway and Lake Front Circle.
