Romtec Utilities worked with WSI International, LLC on a project located in Nevada for a wastewater lift station for the Nye County Public Works department in Pahrump, Nevada. Pahrump, Nevada is an unincorporated town on the California border in Nye County about 62 miles west of Las Vegas. The population was 44,738 during the most recent census.

Nevada Route 372 and 160 go through the town, heading north, south, and west.

The summers are very hot and dry as the area has an elevation of 2,697 feet but nighttime temperatures are much cooler.

Pahrump Valley is a valley in the Mojave Desert that was known for many large ranches that grew alfalfa and cotton, while also raising livestock. Pahrump Valley Days Fall Festival with a rodeo are events that are held here annually.

This valley sits within various mountains around the area including Charleston Peak, Wilson Ridge, Griffith Peak, Harris Mountain, Cockscomb Ridge, Fletcher Peak, and Bonanza Peak. Most of these mountains are to the east while Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits further east of those mountains.

The Nopah Range Wilderness Area is just across the border in California from this town while Death Valley National Park is just to the west.

WSI International, LLC brought Romtec Utilities into a project located in Nevada for a wastewater lift station for the Nye County Public Works department. WSI International was the engineer for this project.

As the community was expanding, it was apparent that they needed a wastewater lift station, so Romtec Utilities worked with TRC, which is a leading, global consulting, engineering, and construction management firm, to develop the wastewater lift station.

The wastewater lift station pump systems have a Xerxes fiberglass barrel, (2) Flygt pumps, Siemens ultrasonic pressure transducer, XPS-15, Siemens HydroRanger control – 3 PHASE / 480V / NEMA 4 enclosure. There is a RACO verbatim autodialer and an electrical junction box with controls to the wastewater pump lift station.

This duplex wastewater lift station has a fiberglass Xerxes tank. One of the best design features of fiberglass is its ability to be manufactured with a double-wall and leak detection. A fiberglass tank has a high level of reliability and cost savings compared to concrete and steel tanks.

It can pump 2500 gallons per minute. The wet well features a 12′ diameter, 8″ discharge piping, NP3202 Flygt pumps, and a 10″ – 10″ Dia valve vault.

Double-wall fiberglass tanks provide a very robust wet-well material. These tanks prevent a wet well from leaking or leaching into the surrounding environment.

Romtec Utilities designs, manufactures, and supplies wastewater pump systems like this one for neighborhoods, cities, and developments all over the country. Our team of design experts can design a system to meet all local building codes while creating a system that meets the exact pumping needs of the project or development.

Pahrump Utility Company provides maintenance and upkeep of the pump system. Sati Construction was the installing contractor while M&M Electric, In. was the electrical contractor for the installation.

Romtec Utilities was happy to be a part of this wastewater lift station for Nye County Public Works department in Pahrump, Nevada.
