The pump station will be upgraded in late 2025-early 2026. Planned improvements include upgraded pumps, access hatches, controllers, and a backup generator.
The Township will be installing a new generator pad in the boulevard area near 308 Uganda Ave in fall 2025. This new generator will provide essential backup power to ensure the pump station can continue operating during power outages. Currently, the station has no backup system, which poses a risk of service interruptions or potential sewer overflows during an outage.
The generator itself may not be installed until 2026 due to budget constraints; however, the pad and electrical connections are being installed now to allow for a smooth installation once the equipment is procured.
To complete this work, one existing tree in the boulevard will need to be removed. Unfortunately, there is no suitable space nearby to replant a replacement tree, but the Township will plant a new tree elsewhere in Esquimalt.
