Project Overview
The Wills Pump Station was no longer able to meet growing water demands due to capacity limitations, an aging facility, and inadequate infrastructure. The existing building lacked space for additional equipment, suffered from a leaking roof, and had an ineffective air conditioning system. The City partnered with J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc. to design and oversee the construction of a new, modern facility that could meet current and future needs.
Design and Infrastructure Improvements
J-U-B designed a new 2,000-square-foot pump station featuring a steel building with insulated metal panels. The upgraded facility includes:
-
Two 40-HP vertical turbine canned pumps
-
Three 125-HP vertical turbine canned pumps
-
24- and 30-inch discharge piping
-
Advanced electrical and control systems
-
Phased backup generators
-
A reliable HVAC system
Phased Construction for Future Growth
To support ongoing development, the new pump station was designed for phased construction. This approach allows developers to fund system upgrades incrementally, aligning infrastructure expansion with community growth. The station’s current configuration can be doubled in capacity—up to approximately 16,500 gallons per minute—within the existing building footprint to accommodate future demands.
Outcome
The Wills Pump Station project reflects J-U-B’s commitment to scalable, efficient water infrastructure solutions that serve communities today and into the future.
