Background Information
The Utilities Department budgets annually for the replacement of lift station control panels in a prioritized manner. This year, Utilities is planning for the replacement of panels at lift stations 3, 31, and 60. Additionally, as part of the Lift Station Rehabilitation Project, Utilities is planning to replace pumps and control panels at lift stations 16 and 90. Replacement pumps will be installed by a third-party as part of the Rehabilitation Project. All control panels and components will be installed by Utilities staff.
