pumping stations
Pressure-boosting facilities
Pumping stations are facilities that use pumps to move water, sewage, or other fluids through a pipeline system.
They're essential infrastructure where gravity alone can't move liquids—lifting wastewater to treatment plants, boosting water pressure in distribution networks, or draining low-lying areas: The city upgraded its pumping stations after the flood.
