Plans involved tying this station <br /> 24 into the West Ten Force main connecting to Southeast Regional, which would remove 80,000 gallons per <br /> 25 day from GE Pump Station while increasing GE capacity. This project was estimated between $750,000 <br /> 26 and slightly over$1 million,with federal funding being sought. <br /> 27 The West Ten Pump Station had 400,000 gallons per day operational capacity with 338,000 <br /> 28 gallons daily available capacity, described as "sitting pretty good."
