Pump Stations, Lift Stations - How They Work To Drain Communities

That's pump one. This is a pump station. It's designed to where there are alternating pumps that pump the water. What a pump station does, well, in this case, we have done a lot of drainage in the area. All the properties that we built drainage systems for go to this drainage ditch. When the water reaches a certain level, it starts to go into the pump station through that grate. The reason why there a grate is so that no debris can get in and plug the pump station, like a big log or something like that. So you can see how the water is pouring through this. We just had a pretty good rain, so there's been a lot of water feeding this drainage ditch. So this thing is going to be pretty active for a little bit here until it catches up.
Now, look at the water line on the dam. Let's go to the other side here and look at the water line. Quite a bit of a difference. That's what a pump station does. In order for the properties on the other side of this dam to stay dry, to protect those homes. Here comes pump two alternating pumps. So there was pump two, and it'll alternate between pump one and pump two like this.
In the event that a pump should quit, the properties won't be flooded out. That's the beauty of an alternating pump system. This is a commercial pump station. Where's all this water going to? It's going out to Lake St. Clair.
Now the lakes here in Michigan, there are at record highs. We haven't seen the lake water this high in 30 years. They've been really high the past couple of years. This pump station had not been working for many, many years and a couple of years ago it just started. It just started pumping water with literally no notice. The boats that were tied up on the canal, once this water started, started to be pumped. The boats there were, there actually was some property damage over that. There was this no notice once, once we reached a level to where it was going to be catastrophic to the homeowners. You know, we're talking massive insurance claims, you know, homes being underwater. Well, as you can see, there's, when you look at the one side of this dam, and you look at the, the other side, I mean, it's pretty amazing. They're able to control the water. Look at that. [...]
