After a brief public hearing, the city council considered the installation of a sanitary sewer lift station and associated infrastructure at Bayland Park.
The proposed resolution allowed the City Council to make the following findings concerning the installation of a sanitary sewer lift station and associated infrastructure at Bayland Park:
- there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use or taking of such land; and
- the Project includes all reasonable planning to minimize harm to the land resulting from the proposed use.
The Public Works/Engineering Departments have worked with Kimley-Horn who is designing the lift station for the Baytown Hotel and Convention Center Project to determine where the lift station for the island may be located. After much thought and consideration, it was determined that the only feasible and prudent location for the improvement is on a small portion of Bayland Park, namely a 65' x 55' piece of property. The Director of Public Works/Engineering is working diligently to ensure that the harm to the park resulting from the installation of the lift station will be minimal.
A lift station is used to pump wastewater or sewage from a low level to a higher level when the gradient of the area does not allow for a natural flow.
The wet well is a basin into which the inflow is discharged and where the pumps sit. The control panel is the brain of the lift station.
The wastewater lift stations are facilities designed to move wastewater from lower to higher elevation through pipes. The centrifugal pumps are commonly used in lift stations.
