Pump Station Engineering Services FAQs

What is municipal sanitation engineering?

Municipal sanitation engineering involves the planning, design, operation, and improvement of wastewater collection and treatment systems that protect public health and the environment.

How can a municipality improve aging sewer infrastructure?

Improvements may include sewer rehabilitation, pump station upgrades, inflow and infiltration reduction programs, capacity improvements, and system modernization projects.

Why are infiltration and inflow studies important?

Excess groundwater and stormwater entering sanitary sewer systems can increase treatment costs, reduce system efficiency, and contribute to overflows during wet-weather events.
