High lift pumps supply finished potable water to either Snell Lock or Maintenance Base based on system demand. One set of 7 1/2 HP pumps are provided for each supply line. The water pumped to Maintenance Base is stored in an air over water pressure tank and the water pumped to Snell Lock is stored in its own air over water pressure tank. Operation of the system is accomplished with the use of automatic controls which utilize pressure switches and float switches. The combined average daily flow is approximately 1,000 gallons per day.
