The city of Riverside has contracted LEE + RO to prepare the construction documents for the replacement of two existing wastewater lift stations: Fairgrounds Street Lift Station and Dexter Drive Lift Station. Both of the existing lift stations were originally constructed in the late 1960s with a wet well manhole and a pump chamber vault with pedestal mounted pumps in a duplex (duty/standby) configuration.
The City’s objective is to replace each of the existing lift stations with a new lift station that conforms to the City’s current sewage lift station and force main guidelines that include wet well submersible pumps and valve vaults.
Improvements include:
Fairgrounds St. Lift Station
- New 10-ft diameter x 20-ft deep wet well
- Two new 280 gpm submersible pumps with new MCC
- Upgraded electrical service from 230V to 480V
- New valve vault
- New 8-inch force main
Dexter Dr. Lift Station
- New 10-ft diameter x 15-ft deep wet well
- Two new 170 gpm submersible pumps with new MCC
- Upgraded electrical service from 230V to 480V
- New valve vault
- New 8-inch force main
These projects improve the system’s overall performance, maintains reliability of the sewer system, and ensures that infrastructure meets the City’s current standards.
