pump station
Fluid transfer hub
A pump station is a facility housing pumps that move fluids—typically water, sewage, or oil—through a pipeline system.
Pump stations are positioned along pipelines to maintain pressure and flow over long distances or elevation changes: The city installed a new pump station to handle increased wastewater volume.
Also called a pumping station or lift station.
