Pump Stations Details

The City has a network of pump (lift) stations positioned at key points throughout our sewer system. These pump stations are located both inside and outside of the City limits, for the most part pumping stations were named for their geographic location in the City. Below is a listing of the City of Defiance's pump stations and some detailed information about each of them.
