Virginia power outage hits water supplies
November 13, 2009

A major storm in Virginia has left hundreds of thousands of people without power and caused at least one community to ask residents to cut their water use until the power can be restored. Power outages can cause booster stations to become useless, which in turn means water pressure can't be supplied to a municipal system. It can also mean that wastewater lift stations end up out of commission as well -- which can become a serious threat to health and safety. That's why we offer engine-backup lift stations and portable trailer-mounted lift stations that can be deployed in case of emergency to provide reliable service even when the power goes out.
