About

This Work

The Ankeny Pump Station is the main sanitary and combined sewer pump station serving Portland’s west side, moving both dry-weather flow and wet-weather combined sewage to the East Central Interceptor. The upgrade project replaces the aging electrical system with a modern, code-compliant design featuring new high-voltage service, updated distribution equipment, and improved operational efficiency.
