The existing pumps are facing re-placement every 1-2 years due to the unan-ticipated growth, but due to the growth weneed to consider increasing the capacity ofthe wet well. In addition to switching fromstandard submersible pumps to chopperpumps to accommodate the random ob-jects that get flushed into the system. InJuly both pumps ended up failing and theyhad to not only replace the pumps but payfor sewage disposal to circumvent overflow. A separate project is in the works to beginremediating/replacing damaged sewermains due to inflow and infiltration. This construction solicitation will requirethe full removal and replacement of the liftstation for the Rosebud complex. The exist-ing lift station provides wastewater serviceto the hospital quarters units, and severaltribal program buildings. Once installationis complete the new lift station will take thefull sanitary load for the area currently be-ing serviced by the existing lift station andbe sized to handle expansion in the future.Then the existing lift station consisting of the wet well, dry well, pumps and pipingwill be demolished. The new lift station willconsist of a wet well, a dry well, installationof chopper pumps, and force main connec-tion. This project will also include a newcontrol system to allow the facility to moni-tor flow into the lift station and the status ofthe equipment.
