A pump station is a facility designed to move fluids, such as water or sewage, from one location to another. It typically contains one or more pumps that help to increase the pressure of the fluid, allowing it to flow through pipelines. Pump stations are essential in various applications, including municipal water supply systems and wastewater management. These stations are strategically placed in a network to ensure efficient fluid transport. They can be powered by electricity or other energy sources and may include control systems to monitor flow rates and pressure. Proper maintenance of a pump station is crucial for reliable operation and to prevent system failures.
