(A Joint Venture) <br />George Liner,.Utilities Director <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />RE: Treasure Coast Utilities Franchise <br />Water and Sewerage System <br />Site Inspection <br />March 11, 1981 <br />Site inspection began at the eastern most pump station of Treasure Coast <br />Utilities. The pump station consisted of a concrete pump control building <br />with a single sewage pump (above ground type). The nameplate on the pump <br />has been corroded but, it appears to be a Gorman -Rupp Type 13-A, close <br />coupled sewage pump. There is only one pump in the pump station. The condi- <br />tion at the time of inspection revealed station failure evidenced by the high <br />level alarm light. The pump control mechanism was set to the hand mode and <br />was not operating; two of the relay boxes and switchgear were open, and <br />although the reset button was pushed, the pumps did not start.- It appears <br />this lift station, at this time of inspection, is inoperable. The overall <br />condition of the pump station is very poor, although some painting has <br />occurred. The interior of the pumphoUse appears to have had sewage in it <br />by evidence of a high water mark, and there is some corrosion evidenced on <br />some of the existing valving and piping. There appears to be signs of a <br />maintenance effort due to a modification to the -pump actuation system, but <br />the system is inoperable. There is evidence that the lift station has been <br />vandalized by the fact that the exterior door into the pump station has a <br />large hole in it, and the locking hasp has been broken.
