pumping station
Fluid transfer facility
A pumping station is a facility housing pumps that move water, sewage, or other fluids through a pipeline system.
Municipal water systems use pumping stations to maintain pressure and lift water to higher elevations.
Sewage pumping stations—also called lift stations—move wastewater from low-lying areas to treatment plants: The flooding overwhelmed the pumping station.
