KWA – Lake Huron Pump Station

The Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) Water Supply System project includes construction of miles of transmission mains and two pumping facilities to bring raw water from Lake Huron to service the Counties of Sanilac, Lapeer, and Genesee, as well as the Cities of Flint and Lapeer. The project has been divided into multiple contracts, including five transmission main contracts and two pump station facility contracts.

The S.4001 Lake Huron Pump Station (LHPS) project consists of a 60 MGD pump station with provisions for a future capacity of 70 MGD. Construction of the LHPS wet well is being coordinated with the S.4000 Lake Huron Intake project. The LHPS will pump raw lake water from the Lake Huron shore to the proposed Intermediate Pump Station (IPS) located in St. Clair County, approximately 25 miles west of this site. The LHPS Contract also includes approximately 820 lineal feet of 66-inch steel transmission main from the pump station to the Fisher Road R.O.W.

The design phase of the project included preliminary engineering, a pumping station hydraulic model study, preparation of a design report and preparation of construction documents. The design of the project required coordination with the other KWA projects.
