= Introduction =

A pumping station is a facility designed to draw and transfer fluids (such as water or sewage) from one location to another. This form of infrastructure may be required in low lying areas when the location of the facility prevents the use of gravity to lift the fluids for distribution.

Pumping stations are sometimes called pumphouses (when associated with irrigation systems or drilled wells), package pumping stations or packaged pumping stations (when used to describe private pumping stations) or lift stations (when describing systems designed for pumping waste or sewage). A pumping station may also be part of a hydroelectric facility.

Pumping stations can be installed in various situations, such as housing estates, healthcare or education campuses, commercial sites, industrial parks and so on. They may even be used for personal residences (such as in situations where a sewer passes over an incline). Depending on their application, these facilities may use several components, including pumps, tanks (also referred to as collection chambers or wet wells), float switches, controllers, pipework and other mechanical devices.

Water pumping stations are systems that are used to transport water for several purposes. This can include:

== Canal water supplies ==

In situations where the location of the canal may not be able to reliably supply the water levels needed to operate the locks, pumping stations may be used to supplement the water levels. These pumping stations draw water from other locations into the higher levels of the canals. Pumping stations may also be used to transport the water from the low locks to the upper locks. This type of arrangement may be referred to as a back pumping system.

== Land drainage ==

Water pumping stations are sometimes used to drain water from low lying areas that would otherwise be saturated and unsuitable for agricultural purposes. This method may be deployed due to challenges brought on by elevation factors that prevent the use of canals.

== Wastewater pumping stations ==

These systems are designed to transport waste or sewage material. The material is collected in a chamber (or wet well) until it reaches the level where the pump is activated. The material then moves into the main sewer system where it can be treated.

== Private pumping stations ==

These systems were once used by privately run developments or associations to transport surface water or waste water to a higher elevation.

In 2010, the Government decided that most private pumping stations that form part of the sewer or lateral drain systems that connect to the public sewer network should be transferred to the ownership of the regulated sewerage companies in England and Wales. The deadline for these transfers (referred to as pumping station adoptions) was October 2016.
