PUMP STATIONS

Pump stations are structures that pump wastewater or stormwater. They can be used to move water over or up hills, move water from one basin to another, or move water to treatment plants. Pump stations can be underground and are usually on public property. The ground above pump stations can sometimes be used for other things like public space or art. SPU owns and operates 68 wastewater pump stations and our newest will be the first stormwater pump station in South Park.
