A new pump station is needed to replace the existing 70-year-old pump station. The existing station is too small for current and future wastewater flows. The existing station does not meet current safety, electrical, and building codes. It is located in an area of limited access, making routine operation and maintenance difficult, as well as delaying emergency response efforts. Because of site limitations, cost, and the inability to keep the current station in service while upgrading, rehabilitation is not an alternative. A new facility must be built. See rendering of new pump station below.

Construction of the new facility began in December 2009. Traffic control is currently in place on West Coast Highway to allow for demolition of existing buildings on the new site. Following this activity excavation for the new pump station will begin.
