DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities

BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Southeast Waterworks reservoir underdrain sump pumps are used to collect foundation drainage from the underdrain system surrounding the reservoir.
The system consists of two 3-horsepower sump pumps that were originally installed in 2008. The pumps have now reached the end of their service life and need to be replaced. In addition, both drainage pumps are controlled by a single disconnect and cannot be monitored or remotely controlled through SCADA. These issues need to be addressed as part of this project.
Therefore, the proposed project includes replacement of the two existing drainage pumps, installation of vented junction boxes, a new programmable logic controller (PLC), new discharge piping, and associated wiring and conduits.
