The installation of bypass valves at lift stations is a critical infrastructure upgrade aimed at ensuring operational resilience and minimizing disruptions to wastewater management systems in the Town of Burgaw. These bypass valves serve as essential contingency measures in the event of total pump failures at lift stations, allowing for the diversion of wastewater flow and preventing potential sewage backups or overflows. Without these bypass valves, the alternative solution of laying hoses along streets for significant distances would not only be impractical but also pose logistical challenges and safety concerns. Such temporary measures could lead to street closures or partial closures, causing inconvenience to residents and potentially impacting traffic flow. By proactively installing bypass valves at lift stations, Burgaw aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of its wastewater management infrastructure. This preventative measure mitigates the risk of service disruptions and helps safeguard public health and environmental integrity by ensuring the continuous and uninterrupted conveyance of sewage from lift stations to treatment facilities. The identified lift stations for bypass valve installation, including Bus Garage, Tealbriar, and Industrial, are prioritized based on their criticality to the overall wastewater system and the potential impact of pump failures on surrounding areas. Through this infrastructure investment, Burgaw demonstrates its commitment to proactive asset management and the sustainable provision of essential municipal services to its residents and businesses.
