These facilities are equipped with pumps and <br />motors, chemical pumps, valves, tanks, and electrical panel controls. There are 166 pumps and <br />motors alone to operate the booster stations. Mechanical and electrical equipment runs 24/7 and <br />constantly needs maintenance, rehabilitation, and repairs. Although all water facilities are critical <br />to ensuring reliable water service, water booster facilities require additional attention as they <br />maintain the necessary pressure in the distribution system and convey water throughout the City <br />to ensure adequate water supply to residents. <br />
