Raw Sewage Pump Impeller Purchase

Vendor quote
There are four raw sewage pumps at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). During
peak flow conditions, three pumps may be utilized. One of our raw sewage pump
impellors has minor damage, due to the normal wear and pumping of raw wastewater.
While it still functions, it is important to be aware of its lessened reliability and work to
have an onsite impeller for replacement, as it takes seven weeks to receive a new one
once ordered.
Xylem is the supplier of the raw sewage pumps and associated parts at the WWTF. Their
pumps have proven to be very reliable and the wastewater staff is satisfied with the
company’s service and responsiveness.
