Lift Stations 101: Why It Matters to Your Community Development | EP 12
A webinar on lift stations for community developers, engineers and city officials: how they move wastewater, a calculation demo and O&M planning.
This webinar episode of Engineers for Communities focuses on lift stations, an essential part of community infrastructure.
Lift stations keep wastewater moving, which every community depends on. If you are a community developer, engineer or city official, understanding lift stations is key.
In this episode
- What lift stations are and how they move wastewater from lower to higher elevations where the land does not allow gravity flow.
- A live demo with an Excel spreadsheet on the basics of lift station calculations and the factors to weigh in design and operation.
- Lift station operations and maintenance details that are easy to miss, and why planning for them prevents failures, downtime and unexpected costs.
- Planning for the future, including regular maintenance and readiness for emergencies.
