Pump Stations
The
District has two primary sewage pump stations and one small backyard pump
station serving three residences within the collection system. The Lake
Gregory Pump Station is located on the east side of Lake Gregory along San
Moritz Way and receives raw sewage from Assessment Districts 2, 11, 12 and
the Pinecrest area. The pump station was built in 1968 with construction of
the sewer system for AD No. 2 and also serves Assessment Districts Nos. 11
and 12, and was expanded in 1988 to accommodate flows from Camp Pinecrest.
Both units are automated, vertical mount, close-coupled
pumps. Both pumps are duty units alternating automatically as a lead or lag
pump.
The Forest
Shade Pump Station was constructed in 1979 to eliminate possible sewage
overflows to Lake Gregory during storm conditions and to serve future
unsewered areas. It is located east of Forest Shade Drive and south of Lake
Drive, and operates only when sewage backs up in the gravity trunk main
along Lake Gregory and overflows into the wet well. During 1989, the pump
station was in operation a total of 16 hours. Of this total, about 8 hours
was for exercising and testing the pumps.
The Forest
Shade Pump Station discharges through a 10-inch force main located in Lake
Drive to a vault located just west of Lake Gregory Dam. The force main is
parallel to the existing 15-inch gravity trunk sewer that follows the north
shoreline of the lake to the same vault. Flow from the vault can be diverted
to both or either one of two parallel gravity trunk sewers to the Huston
Creek Treatment Plant. The pump station, force main and a parallel trunk
sewer were constructed in 1981. A
parallel 8-inch force main was installed before 2000.
The Bernard
Drive Pump Station was constructed prior to 2000 and provides sewer service
to three homes on Bernard Drive that previously had been served by gravity
until the gravity pipeline was washed out and no longer provided service.
This station pumps less than 500 gallons per day, is approximately 2
horsepower, and lifts the sewage approximately 30 feet to the Bernard Drive
gravity collection system.
