Problem: A developer with a 250-unit apartment complex in northeastern Washington required a wastewater pump station to address present needs, while providing expansion possibilities for future flows. The wastewater lift station had to be designed for integration into a shared force main with another lift station and several grinder systems. The design had to consider the existing wastewater infrastructure, while anticipating future pressures, ultimate flows and additional development. Developing a now-and-then pump system on these project-specific guidelines required accurate data and engineering to produce the best possible outcome.Solution: Romtec Utilities coordinated with the developer and consulting engineer to design and
