Sewage flows by gravity from the
condominiums into the Wetwell. Lots of
people mean higher flow rates. The
pumps are designed for the highest expected rates. This is the inlet pipe. |
|
See this Overflow Pipe? If the pumps fail for any reason, the level
in the Wetwell will rise until it reaches the Overflow Pipe. Sewage will then flow into the Overflow Tank
- to be described later. This
prevents the level in the Wetwell from rising any higher than this Overflow
Pipe. |

Outlet pipes for each pump. These pipes carry the sewage from the
Wetwell, through valves outside the Wetwell, to the Force Main. The Force Main is the buried pipe that
carries the pumped sewage to the Hotel. |
