What is a Lift Station: Explained - How Do Lift Stations Work?

FAQs

What is a lift station?

A lift station is a pumping facility that moves wastewater from lower to higher elevations when gravity alone can’t keep it flowing. Larger municipal lift stations serve cities and regional systems, while smaller building lift stations handle wastewater from individual facilities.
Why are lift stations important in wastewater systems?

Lift stations ensure wastewater continues to flow through the collection system without backups, protecting infrastructure and keeping treatment operations efficient.
How can I get my lift station surveyed with State?

You can have your lift station surveyed by contacting State for a professional assessment. If you’re interested in learning more, click the "Get Started" button below to get into contact with one of our local representatives.
