General. Effluent pumping is required in cases where the disposal site is at a higher elevation than the treatment facility or the disposal system is one that utilizes pressure distribution. In these cases the effluent must be moved using pumps. Pumps and associated equipment must be manufactured and warrantied for the purpose of pumping treated wastewater. In all installations the manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed. Pumps and pressure lines must be sized correctly to assure that the system is hydraulically sound.
