SPOTLIGHT PROJECT

Residential Development Wastewater Lift Station - Kimberly, Idaho

As the City of Kimberly, Idaho, continues to grow, new residential developments require dependable wastewater infrastructure that can support both current residents and future expansion. For the new Olsen Farms neighborhood, Romtec Utilities partnered with the developer, the City of Kimberly, and project engineers to design and supply a complete wastewater lift station that meets the community's long-term needs.

Overview

Olsen Farms is a 127-lot single-family housing development located in Kimberly, Idaho. Because the completed system would ultimately be owned and maintained by the City of Kimberly, the city required a lift station designed to match their existing infrastructure preferences. Romtec Utilities worked directly with the developer, 3 Emeralds LLC, and coordinated with Project Engineering Consultants (later acquired by Consor Engineering) to design a system aligned with the city's operational expectations.

This wastewater lift station was engineered to accommodate both current and build-out flows from the entire development, ensuring consistent performance as the neighborhood reaches full occupancy.

Key system features 

Designed to pump 113 gallons per minute, this system efficiently handles the wastewater needs of all 127 future homes in the development.

• Precast 6-foot diameter, 16.66-feet deep wet well
• Precast 5106 valve vault
• Duplex submersible 4.7 hp ABS Sulzer pumps
• Primary controller: Micrologixs 1400 PLC
• Primary level sensing: Pressure transducer
• Secondary level sensing: Two float sensors
• NEMA 3R painted steel control enclosure

Challenge:  Meeting City and Developer Needs

Kimberly does not maintain formal written standards for wastewater lift stations, which meant the project required careful coordination among the city, developer and engineering teams. The new system needed to reflect the design and operational characteristics of other city-owned stations while still fitting within the development's pumping requirements and construction schedule. Additionally, the system needed to be ready to handle bothh immediate wastewater flows and increased volumes as the neighborhood grows.

Solution: A Custom-Engineered System by Romtec Utilities

Romtec Utilities created a custom design based on systems already owned by the City of Kimberly. By working closely with Project Engineering Consultant/Consor Engineering and submitting plans for city review, Romtec Utilities ensured that the new lift station aligned with local expectations for performance, maintenance, and long-term reliability.
