5th and Respess Street Pump Station, City of Washington, North Carolina
A new 3,600 GPM capacity pump station replaced an older station which experienced frequent flooding from major thunderstorms and hurricanes. The pump station handles approximately 75% of the flow to the WWTP.
The project included the building of a concrete wet well, three submersible pumps with variable speed drives, a pump control, maintenance building, and an emergency generator. The capacity of the pump station can be increased by adding a third 12-inch force main and a fourth pump.? The project also included two manholes and approximately 100 feet of 30-inch DIP sewer, as well as, 16-inch and 18-inch force main to the existing 12-inch force mains.
