New pumps, motors, and controls were installed at stormwater pump station #1 last week. The old equipment was at the end of its useful life and was scheduled to be replaced this year.

These photos show one of the new pumps being lifted into place by a crane. There is also a photo of the two old pumps and motors that were removed lying on a trailer.

These pumps are 12 feet tall and pump water off of Seabrook Island Rd. near Coon Hollow Ln. after a rain event. These new pumps and controls will allow SIPOA to continue to provide resilient stormwater management in this area.
