A New Master Lift Station Comes Into Service For Natchitoches, LA

The oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase, Natchitoches currently has a population of approximately 20,000 people. An old town means old infrastructure, so a project to upgrade the city’s master lift station was recently set into motion. According to Henry Shuler, owner and consulting engineer for Shuler Consulting Company, one of the biggest issues with the old station was its location, which was in a tiny city lot crammed into a corner between the road and a commercial business. In addition, the lift station was at limited capacity, as it only had four pumps.
