Section 1 —Design Criteria, Part 3 "Wastewater Collection and Transmission Systems,"
Subsection 3.3 "Wastewater Pump Stations"
design shall consider the potential for damage or interruption of operation due to flooding. Pump
station structures and electrical and mechanical equipment shall be designed to be protected from
physical damage by the 100-year flood event. Pump stations shall be designed to remain fully
operational and accessible during the 25-year flood event. Pump stations shall be designed to
avoid operational problems from the accumulation of grit.
Pump stations shall be designed to be readily accessible by maintenance vehicles, including
pumper trucks, during all weather conditions. Pump stations shall be designed and located on
the site to minimize adverse effects from odors, noise, and lighting. Pump stations shall be
located on the site to have a minimum separation of 20 feet from the edge of the CUE for the
pump station to edge of a body of water and 15 feet from the edge of the CUE for the pump station
to a residential structure (including appurtenances).
The effective volume of wet wells shall be based on design average flows and a filling time not to
exceed 30 minutes unless the facility is designed to provide flow equalization. The pump
manufacturer's duty cycle recommendations shall be utilized in selecting the minimum cycling
time. Pump stations requiring a pump motor of twenty horsepower or greater shall operate by a
VFD (variable frequency drive) that varies the operating speed of the pump based on wet well
water levels. Pump stations shall have a compacted earth berm on three sides with 3:1 slopes to
divert liquid toward the ROW. Top of berm shall be 12 inches wide and six inches higher than
back of curb (with curb) or edge of pavement (without curb). Minimum berm height shall be six
inches.
When a pump station has a peak design flow coming into the station greater than 500 gpm,
contact Public Utilities Engineering and Project Management Department for specifications.
A pump station that is connected connects directly to tea County transmission-force main from
a subdivision or site development, where multiple pump stations are or will be connected to said
force main-(Community Pump Station),and any pump station that receives flow from one or more
upstream pump stations or discharges through a force main 12 inches or larger (see FAC 62-
604.400 (2)(a)1) shall have uninterrupted pumping capability (standby diesel pump or generator)
with three days of fuel storage (compliant with Technical Specification 263213) and a concrete
pad for a future odor control system.
Except for grinder pump stations, which require Deviation approval, no new private pump stations
are allowed. Grinder pump stations are required to have a standard generator receptacle. All
other pump stations shall conform to these standards and shall be conveyed to the Collier County
Water-Sewer District in accordance with the utilities conveyance policies and procedures outlined
in the Collier County Utilities Standards and Procedures Ordinance (Ord. No. 2004-31 as
amended).
All pump stations shall have water available to them. Available water means a water main is
accessible in the adjacent ROW or CUE.
Landscaping is not required, per these standards, to be installed around wastewater pump
stations. If landscaping is provided, it shall be maintained by the developer, homeowners
association, or land owner and shall NOT be located in the CUE. Landscaping, if provided, shall
be located as to not block access or interfere with operations. If plant material dies, it is the
responsibility of the landscaping owner to replace it. The landscaping shall be maintained to not
block telemetry antenna line of site.
