Frequently Asked Questions

Water lift stations play a crucial role in areas where natural landscapes impede water flow. They are designed to move water from lower to higher elevations for various applications, including managing municipal or industrial wastewater, improving drainage in flood-prone areas, aiding agricultural irrigation, supporting mining and industrial processes, and supplying water to municipal systems.

The difference between a lift station and a regular pump station lies primarily in their functions related to water elevation. A regular pump station moves water over the same elevation, meaning it assists with the water’s horizontal movement but doesn’t change its height. In contrast, a lift station is designed to move water from a lower to a higher elevation, effectively ‘lifting’ it to allow for gravity-assisted flow. Lift stations are essential for areas and applications where water needs to be raised to a higher elevation for effective distribution or drainage.

Yes, water lift stations can be designed to integrate with existing sewer systems and treatment plants. Chamco’s engineers assess your current setup and determine the best wastewater lift station approach, whether that means connecting to a municipal main sewer line or integrating into a larger industrial process water system.

A well-maintained industrial or municipal water lift station can last 15 to 20 years, though its actual lifespan depends on the operating environment, component quality, and maintenance consistency. In demanding industrial settings where submersible pumps handle wastewater containing abrasive solids or corrosive effluent, components experience greater wear than in a standard municipal system, making regular inspection and timely replacement of parts critical to long-term reliability. Using genuine OEM parts and following a structured maintenance program gives both industrial and municipal lift stations the best chance of reaching and exceeding that benchmark.

There are two main types of lift stations:

  • Wet-well/dry-well stations house the pumps in a separate dry chamber, making maintenance easier and protecting equipment from direct contact with wastewater. 
  • Submersible stations place the pumps directly in the wet well, offering a compact design suited to installations with limited space. 

Chamco’s engineers can determine which configuration best fits your flow rate requirements, total dynamic head, and environment.

A well-built lift station includes:

  • Pumps to handle wastewater and solids
  • Wet well to collect and hold wastewater flows before pumping
  • Control panel with automated controls for efficient operation
  • Float switches and level sensors to monitor wastewater level and trigger pump cycles
  • Check valves to prevent backflow and protect the collection system
  • Remote monitoring capability to track lift station performance without on-site presence
  • Emergency systems to maintain operation during unexpected situations

Determining the right size water lift station is based on several factors, such as: 

  • Required flow rate
  • Total dynamic head (the total pressure the pump must overcome) 
  • The nature of the wastewater (including solids content and viscosity) 
  • The demands of the broader collection system. 

Getting this right is crucial to efficiency and long-term reliability. The pumping experts at Chamco work with you to evaluate these factors and ensure your station is equipped to handle current demand and future growth.

Remote monitoring enables operators to track wastewater levels, flow rates, pump cycles, and overall lift station performance from a central location, without requiring on-site visits for routine checks. This is particularly valuable for managing multiple stations across a municipal or industrial network. Remote monitoring combined with automated controls can identify issues early, reducing downtime and keeping wastewater flows moving efficiently.

Depending on your solution, your lift station may be equipped with backup systems to maintain operation during emergencies. These may include backup power supplies, alarm systems tied to the control panel, and redundant pumps. Keeping these systems operational is a critical aspect of wastewater management and an important consideration.

Chamco offers service trucks and technicians available to deliver preventive maintenance and support services for pumps.

Yes. Chamco offers maintenance, repair, and re-install services as needed. For industrial settings and municipal systems alike, a scheduled maintenance program is recommended to ensure reliability and efficiency throughout the station’s service life.
