City
of Dallas’ Trinity Watershed Management announces the testing of the pumps at
the new Able No. 3 Pump Station at 615 S. Riverfront Blvd. The testing will begin on Tuesday, April 3, weather
permitting, and will continue for four to six weeks. Commuters may see a water
spout between Jefferson and Houston Street Bridges for varying lengths of time,
and intermittently during the testing period.
“Testing
these high-capacity pumps is an exciting milestone in terms of flood protection
for the City. Each of the four Concrete
Volute Pumps in the new Able Station feature a pumping capacity of 220,000
gallons per minute. Just one of the new pumps equals the capacity of the two
original stations”, said Sarah Standifer, director of Trinity Watershed
Management.
The
completion of Able No. 3 Pump Station is anticipated in late 2018, contingent
on weather. It will be largest of the new stormwater pump stations built by the
City of Dallas.
