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.

What is the Water Revitalization Plan (WRP)?

The WRP is Philadelphia’s multi-decade plan to strengthen and upgrade essential drinking water infrastructure. From upgraded facilities to new water mains, the WRP will improve our water system. There are dozens of projects included in the WRP which will benefit all neighborhoods across Philadelphia. Learn more about the Water Revitalization Plan –>
