Where Our Water Goes

Resources

As water is used in the home, it flows by gravity through the homes own waste water collection piping to the collection pipes installed and maintained by the sanitary district. There are four lift stations which pump this waste water through the collection system to overcome differences in elevation to eventually reach the waste water treatment plant at the furthest east end of Shingle Mill Lane.

The lift station furthest to the north in the district is located on Carnahan and moves waste water to the south in the collection system.

The next lift station in the district is located near Asbury Creek on Pacific Road and like the Carnahan station is a submerged pump with operational control equipment and alarms to manage pump operation.

The next lift station to the south along Pacific can be found at Sally's Alley. The photos below show the submerged pump well during construction in 2014 and the electrical control panel.

The finished submerged well is shown below in 2014.

The 4th and final lift station positioned at Webb and East Shingle Mill Lane shown at right moves waste water from the lowest elevation in the district's collection system pipes, as well as all of the waste water moved south from the other three lift stations. This combined water is pumped further east to the treatment plant at the end of Shingle Mill Lane for further processing.

The Webb lift station is scheduled for a $300K rebuild in the 2024 - 2025 fiscal year.
