New Lift Station for Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board

New lift station includes Rockwell NEMA CENTERLINE 2100 MCC & custom SCADA telemetry system

Hayden Lake, ID 2012

The Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board (HARSB) is responsible for wastewater services in Hayden, Idaho, overseeing a complex system of sewer mains, lift stations, and treatment facilities. In response to EPA Clean Water Act requirements, HARSB initiated a lift station rehabilitation project, addressing design challenges such as shared force mains and the sensitive location of some stations. A key component of this project was the new Hayden Lake H-1 lift station.

The H-1 lift station, a 700-square-foot building with a lower-level equipment area, required careful design consideration due to its proximity to residential neighborhoods and Hayden Lake Beach. The final design achieved a northwest alpine aesthetic using cost-effective, low-maintenance materials. United Crown Pump and Drilling designed the wet-well mounted, self-priming pump station, including the 18-foot deep concrete wet well, pump system selection, and new gravity and force main connections. ControlFreek Inc. collaborated with electrical engineering consultants to integrate new emergency generators and a SCADA-based remote telemetry system.

ControlFreek Inc. incorporated a Rockwell Automation CenterLine 2100 Motor Control Center (MCC) into the H-1 lift station for enhanced safety, performance, and reliability. This UL and NEMA-compliant MCC integrates control and power in a compact package, offering various motor control options, including soft starters and variable speed drives. The MCC’s built-in Ethernet networking and IntelliCENTER® technology enable system-wide communication, diagnostic information sharing for predictive maintenance, and proactive fault warnings. CFI also developed a custom SCADA-based remote telemetry system with comprehensive monitoring and alerts for critical parameters, including generator status, basin overflow, wet well levels, flood switch activation, VFD failure, and submersible level sensor readings.
