The motor starters actually make the pumps start and run? Wow. Who knew? Definitely new cause there ain't no dead electrocuted mice or rats in the cabinet. You don't need a gas sensor to go down into the dry well confined space?
It's TRUE, it's DAMN TRUE, the SHIT business is GOOD BUSINESS. Love my job and dealing with millions, and I mean MILLIONS, of gallons of POOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! RECESSION PROOF!!!!!!
Depends u can feel the pumps if there powerful enough and sometimes they stink like u know what. But call your city water utilities and they have methods to help combat those issues.
Interesting video. Curious what companies manufacture the piping and pumps for the stations. Question: Wondered if there is a free website that provides info as to the cost of building different sized lift stations like this, for various areas, depending on many different issues (depth of sewer, # of homes to service in area, city/county requirements, etc). Good Job.
The water level sensing rod must be a bit more reliable compared to float switches, baby wipes seem wrap the cables of float switches. Guess the rods still need the occasional proper clean, cooking grease could build up on it. Lucky he didnt go in the wet well.......
I just moved near a lift station unbeknownst to me...the stench is unbearable....we are a quarter of a mile away,,,is this normal? The horrible smell is very strong and consistent every evening.....Is the problem due to improper maintenance or system?,,,or is it something we just have to cope with?
Ask the MUA to do a sulfide test or try a charcoal dish in the manholes by your house. It could be a sag in the line causing sewer to turn septic which will cause the odors too.
I have bad news for you. It's not gonna change. As long as folks use the restroom it will always smell. Everyone that lives near pump stations experience the same problem.
‘You got your organics and inorganics’
Lift stations no longer required, because with Trump as president, shit now flows up hill.
Ass hole
You didn’t check for gases
Looks like a smith and loveless station!
Lol that foreman sure dosent use a mh hook very often if ever. That was funny.
Lol where's your fall protection and gas detector...
Confined space.
Jesus, a mech going into an electrical panel!!! All that shit to look in a panel when you could just fit an amp meter and volt meter to the panel. 😂😂
Great high-level overview, more videos like this would be great to see.

Jules Bartow not until you flush a load, then they need an oxygen tank and hazmat suit.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
Too much music

These are some good jobs , they don't have to climb ladders. Looks like a bunch of city workers out to lunch !
Great presentation!
Is it bad to live next to a lift station?

It is an electrode one part is always in the sewage and the other is set at a different level
Great video. Very instructive.
Excellent video!
In the dry well
What do the floats do? What do the transducers do?
Floats are for alarms and the transducer is for on/off levels.

Are you liberal?
They could install better covers that hold in the smell. We use stainless steel covers that have rubber gaskets that seal very well.
Nothing new here America. Stop bighing yourself up look up flyght pumps 50 years of high quality sewage pumping stations
