Michigan Utility's New Pumps Underscore Advancements In Wastewater Handling

Ypsilanti’s pumps, originally put into service in 1982, became priority candidates for replacement after operating ten years beyond their expected 20 year service life. The Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority (YCUA), included the project in the utility’s Master Plan.

According to YCUA, it had become apparent during storm events that increased capacity would be critical for three of the four stations.
