Wet Well
A "Wet Well" is a type of underground chamber used in wastewater management systems. It collects and stores sewage or stormwater before it is pumped to a treatment facility. The design allows for the efficient handling of varying flow rates, ensuring that excess water can be managed without overwhelming the system.
Wet wells are typically equipped with pumps and sensors to monitor water levels. When the water reaches a certain height, the pumps activate to move the water to the next stage of treatment. This process is crucial for maintaining the functionality of systems like sewage treatment plants and preventing overflow during heavy rainfall.
