The project will modernize equipment, increase system capacity, and help protect public health and the environment. Schedule The project is in the design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026 and it will take about two years to complete. Project Map The existing pump station is located on NE 105th Avenue north of NE Marx Street. The City of Portland has acquired a property North of the existing pump station (at 5635 NE 105th) where we will construct the new pump station. The new location has plenty of space for the upgraded pump station to be installed and will provide safe parking for BES Operations and Maintenance needs.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026 and take about two years to complete.Throughout the design process, project team members will visit the area and collect information via survey, locating underground utilities, and taking soil samples. To prepare for construction, crews will demolish an existing storage structure at 5635 NE 105th and secure the site until project work begins. Activities will be limited to the existing pump station, property at 5635 NE 105th, and the immediate surroundings. What is a Pump Station? Sewage, which is 99 percent water, flows downhill, and gravity is the main force that moves sewage through pipes. However, in low-elevation areas or where sewage needs to go uphill, pump stations push the sewage up so that gravity can take over again. Portland has nearly 100 pump stations with large underground tanks (also known as wet wells) in low-elevation areas. Pump stations are equipped with specialized pipes that are built to handle the force of sewage being pushed through them. Pump stations also have equipment that helps control odor and protects the pumps.
