Project Name: Flint River Sewage Pump Station Replacement

The existing 15 million gallons per day (MGD) pump station at Flint River is nearly 40 years old and is approaching the end of its useful life.  The pump station has high pump failure rates, obsolete controls, and other issues associated with an older facility asset. The pump station has been previously retrofitted to provide additional capacity as needed, but its current configuration is inefficient and unable to provide for sustainable operations associated with current and future system flows.  This could contribute to additional sewage spills and overflows in the sanitary sewer system. 
 
The scope of this project includes: 

•   Construct new pump station southeast of Runway 5 
•   Increasing pumping capacity from 15 to 25 MGD 
•   Condition assessment of the 6-mile Flint River Force Main 

 
Justification: 

•   Improves operational reliability and performance of a critical asset 
•   Reduces risk of sanitary sewer overflow discharges to area receiving streams 
•   Provides cost savings associated with reduced maintenance 
•   Resolves electrical code issues associated with the old pump station
