The existing pumps are facing re-placement every 1-2 years due to the unan-ticipated growth, but due to the growth weneed to consider increasing the capacity ofthe wet well. In addition to switching fromstandard submersible pumps to chopperpumps to accommodate the random ob-jects that get flushed into the system. InJuly both pumps ended up failing and theyhad to not only replace the pumps but payfor sewage disposal to circumvent overflow.
