Scope

The Purpose of this Emergency Response plan is to identify specific response and deployment of equipment in the event of multiple sewer lift station failures.
In the event of a power outage, lift stations A, B, C, H and J will utilize their installed utility generators to maintain sewer lift station operation.
Lift Stations 16N, D, E, F, G, I and W.C. will utilize mobile generators rented from United Rental.
As many generators as needed will be rented and installed within 2 hours of responding to a power outage. United Rentals contact information can be found in section E. of this response
plan.
In the event of pump failures or multiple pump failures, ONSWC staff will first utilize secondary pumps installed in all sewer lift stations to maintain operation of the station while
removing and replacing the damaged pump.
Spare pumps are maintained in our critical inventory.
If additional pumps are needed beyond ONSWC spare pump inventory, rentals will be provided by Xylem or CRU.
Xylem and CRU contact information can be found in section E. of this response plan.
To assist ONSWC staff with electrical and telemetry issues or removal and replacement of damaged pumps, Sanford Electric, Carolina Technical Services or CRU will be contacted and mobilized
within 2 hours.
Sanford Electric, Carolina Technical Services and CRU contact information can be found in section E. of this response plan.
If all else fails, Progressive or some other pump and haul contractor or as many pump and haul contractors as needed will be hired to pump and haul from any and all lift stations to
the Briar Chapel Treatment Plant.
