ANALYSIS OF ISSUES
Project Summary
Based on observed site conditions, the wet well, controls and pumps are beyond its
service life. The lift station is not considered structurally sound in its current state. The
deterioration rate will likely accelerate. The extensive pitting and crevice corrosion
present may allow ground water to leach into the structure. Rehabilitation of the lift
station will give it another 30-40 years of useful life.
