Project # 10 Rye Line Sewage Pumping Station Upgrades

Project Description: The Rye Line Pumping station is approximately 35 years old. Currently, the station sees wastewater flows beyond its capacity and needs to be upgraded to handle the projected future flows.  The Rye Line Pumping Station Upgrade will replace pumping equipment, motors and motor drives with new energy efficient equipment, as well as upgrade the electronic controls and emergency generator.  In addition to aged equipment, the current pumping station is subject to periodic flooding from the adjacent wetland.  This upgrade will raise the Pumping Station’s floor elevation to a height above the flood elevation. Finally this project will include upgrades to approximately 4,000 feet of leaking sewer pipe which is taking up capacity and contributing to sewerage overflows at the pumping station.
