This project involves the decommissioning of the existing, active Pump Station 3, installing a flow diversion structure, and other miscellaneous sewer system modifications. By modifying the existing sewer infrastructure and installing the flow diversion structure, the small volume of flow that is sent to Pump Station 3 can be diverted to Pump Station 2 which will allow Pump Station 2 to run more efficiently. For potential emergency and operational purposes, the City will purchase and install a new trailer mounted portable bypass pump at the Pump Station 3 facility. The portable bypass pump and existing ancillary equipment associated with Pump Station 3 will serve as a backup to Pump Station 2 in the event that Pump Station 2 needs to be taken out of service.
This project will allow the city to save the costs of rehabilitating the existing Pump Station 3 while increasing efficiency of Pump Station 2 and increasing the sewer systems operational flexibility.
Construction began in June 2023 and is anticipated to continue through fall 2024. For more information contact Nathan Stites at nstites@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6167.
