The wastewater collection
system serves the developed area of the Village covering approximately
8 square miles with 70.53 miles of sewer main, and 1, 261 manholes.
The collection system
has ten lift stations, central collection points for a service
area, throughout the Village. The wastewater flows by gravity
to a lift station; it is then pumped via force main to the service
area of the gravity interceptor, or in two cases, to the service.

There are two pumps in
each lift station, which cycle on and off automatically. Floats,
or a level sensing system, sense the liquid level in the collection
wells and control the pumps. All lift stations are monitored
for alarm conditions by radio telemetry. Any alarm conditions
are transmitted to the master unit at the WWTF and system personnel
are notified by a telephone dialer system.
The Wastewater Utility
served 3,419 customers at the end of 2001. The estimated 2001
population was 10,682.
