To combat this, staff plans to replace the pumps with new, modern equipment that will improve operational efficiency, enhance system reliability, and ensure consistent water pressure for customers. The replacement pumps are also more energy-efficient, which will reduce operating costs and support sustainability goals.

Pricing was obtained by utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Contract No. 091422-MII with Motion Industries, Inc.
