Minimizing Maintenance Costs by Right-Sizing Dry Weather Pumps
The Norchester Pump Station was rebuilt in 2016 with dedicated dry weather and wet weather pumps. Between 2016 and 2018, the dry weather pumps required more than 5,000 hours of labor and $20,000 in parts for corrective maintenance due to pump ragging and pump failures. These pumps were replaced with smaller, properly sized pumps in late 2018 and have operated without significant issues since saving time and labor and increasing the reliability of the station.
