Queen Lane Raw Water Pump Station Upgrades

Overview

Queen Lane Raw Water Pump Station Upgrades is a pump station project. Pump stations house pumps, pipes, valves, and electrical equipment. This equipment moves water through our system. This equipment also helps provide reliable water supply to our treatment plants.

The Queen Lane Raw Water Pump Station transports water from the Schuylkill River to the Queen Lane Water Treatment Plant. The upgrades include:

Project #64072:

• Elevating new electrical equipment above the FEMA 500-year floodplain.

Project #64122:

• Replacing pumps and mechanical systems to extend the facility’s service life.

Project #64092:
