Wastewater Lift Station Design Standards
Public Works Design Manual outlines the design requirements for public and private sanitary wastewater lift stations. Upgrades or modifications to existing wastewater lift stations shall meet these standards to the extent practical. These standards are not applicable to a single residential structure with four or fewer independent residences.
The wastewater lift station design standards include design criteria and Standard Drawings. Standard Drawings can be found in the supplement to the Design Manual. The design standards generally apply to wastewater lift stations pumping up to 5.0 million gallons per day (MGD). Design of wastewater lift stations with greater than 5.0 MGD capacity shall be considered on case-by-case basis, with special requirements as determined by the City of Reno.
Wastewater lift stations shall be designed to accommodate the projected peak hour flow rate. The design flow rate for the wastewater lift stations shall consider current and projected peak flow rates and wastewater composition. Peak design flow rates shall be per the City of Reno Public Works Design Manual Chapter IV - Sanitary Sewers.
Aesthetics and Noise Natural screening and remoteness of the site should be a primary element of site selection wherever possible. Where pump stations are sited in proximity to developed areas, predominant wind direction for potential odor dispersion and building aspects such as generator exhaust and noise and ventilation fan noises shall be considered and minimized.
