From Depths To New Heights: Revolutionizing Wastewater Pumping With Above-Ground Technology

By: Rich MacGregor, Technical Writer

There is a growing trend towards moving wastewater pumping equipment out of an underground environment to increase equipment lifecycles, reduce labor and replacement costs, and increase worker safety. The trend away from submersible pumps toward above-ground pump stations eliminates the frequent pulling and replacement due to clogs and failures and reduces hazards and costs of accessing confined spaces. Read on for an overview of key advantages, as well as examples of how communities have achieved cost savings by moving towards above-ground systems.
