Grinder Pump System vs
|
A grinder pump is an appliance that is installed on the homeowner's property. Effluent is stored in a tank until it reaches 30 gallons of effluent. When that level is reached, the content of the tank is pumped to the street and then pushed into the gravity system.
Homeowners with gravity feed systems do not require pumps to feed into the sewer system. While some homes must be serviced At the beginning of the sewer project every effort was made to ensure homeowners could tie in with a gravity system. At the end of the sewer project many homeowners were forced to have grinder pumps as the system is less costly to install. |
