This pump station pumps water to the western portion of the City, including the hospital. The project also includes installing a new 18-inch watermain in Jefferson Street from Valley Avenue to the water tanks where the pump station will be constructed.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Goal 2 - Establish the foundations for a vibrant community by stimulating development of affordable housing, revitalizing catalyst sites, and building smart infrastructure.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES / STATUS:

This project will allow the Jefferson pump station that is very old and the Tennyson pump station that is not sized for future growth to be replaced with a single pump station with redundancy. Currently, both the Jefferson pump station and Tennyson pump station are alternately operated.
