All three (3) lift station generator/control structures will be rehabilitated and modified to house the new lift station controls and telemetry.  The existing lift stations will be partially demolished and abandoned in place after the new proposed submersible lift stations are constructed and are operational.  Temporary Sanitary Sewer Overflows will be constructed at Lift Station#1 and #2, consisting of a trash basket manhole, flow meter, and outfall.
