The City owns and operates 51 wastewater pumping
stations ranging in capacity from 32 to 1000 gallons per minute.
In addition to the wastewater pump
stations owned and operated by the City, there is one special storm water
pumping station maintained by the City. It is used to divert Storm Water flows
into Lake Harris from the Lake City Country Club area.
The Division has an active program to insure
proper operation and maintenance of pump stations. This includes regularly
scheduled maintenance, maintaining complete accurate repair records and
properly training staff. In addition, over the last seven years, the City has
invested nearly $450,000 from operating funds towards pump station repairs and
improvements.
Since
1992, the City has experienced a relatively consistent pattern of declining
flows reflecting, primarily, the Divisions success in reducing non-billable
extraneous flows such as infiltration and inflow ("I/I"). Average
daily flows have fallen from 2.8 mgd to 2.4 mgd. Maximum daily flows, averaged
monthly, have fallen from 3.0 mgd to 2.5 mgd.
Flows
to the plant reflect three distinct sources of wastewater:
- Domestic
flow discharged to the sewer system by residents and businesses located in
the sewer collection district.
- Groundwater
entering the system indirectly as I/I.
- Non- domestic
contributions from industrial customers.
