Sanitary District Superintendent and Operators Discuss Reliability and Ease of S&L Pump Station O&M

CASE STUDY: Pumping Systems

When you ask Scarborough (ME) Sanitary District Superintendent David Hughes what he likes most about his collection system pump stations, he'd tell you absolutely "nothing". Hearing nothing, that is.
 
"When there's a problem, I end up having to deal with it," Hughes remarked. "What I like best about them (is) I don't get involved with them."
 
Essentially, he values reliable pump station performance, day-in, day-out, and avoiding problems or hassles that might otherwise reach his desk. And one can see why reliability keys his perspective on pump stations: the district maintains nearly 100 miles of pipe and 23 pump stations, many of which are underground systems that serve really deep sewers throughout the district’s coastal topography.
