Fox Chase Pump Station Upgrades

Overview

This project upgrades the Fox Chase Pump Station to improve water pressure and long-term reliability. Pump stations help move drinking water through the system and maintain stable water pressure for customers. Essential equipment, including pumps, pipes, and electrical systems keep water flowing across the city.

The Fox Chase Pump Station was originally built in the 1950’s. The City needed the pump station to improve water pressure for the growing population. Since the 1950’s, the pump station has undergone some upgrades to maintain and replace equipment. Yet, the aging equipment is reaching the end of its useful life. This project will modernize the pump station with upgraded systems and new equipment.

We’re upgrading the Fox Chase Pump Station through two (2) projects:

Project #64085

• Installing new pumps
• Replacing and improving pump station piping
• Rehabilitating the pump station’s building

Project #41235

• Improving the transmission piping.

Why are we doing these projects?

The existing equipment at the Fox Chase Pump Station is aging and becoming inefficient. These upgrades will water pressure, increase pumping efficiency, and reduce maintenance needs. Upgrading the pump station helps ensure reliable, safe water service for residents in Northeast Philadelphia.
