Propeller-Style Submersible Pumps Provide Reliable Drainage And Flood Control In Low-Lying Hoboken
Because of its low-lying location on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River, the city of Hoboken, NJ, has struggled for generations with flooding when extreme wet-weather events coincide with high tides. In 1998, the North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA) purchased and took control of the sewer lines within the city. Since then, the NHSA has worked diligently to upgrade and modernize the city’s combined sewer collection system.
To improve both the safety and environmental compliance of the city’s century-old sewers, the NHSA built a wet-weather pumping station to alleviate street flooding during storm events in the H1 drainage area of southwest Hoboken.
