CWA Authority Incorporated Lift Station 504 - Indianapolis, Indiana Distribution Pump Station

CWA Authority Incorporated Lift Station 504 is a distribution pump station located at 6380 N Evanston Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana. It is part of the wastewater collection system managed by the local water authority, supporting the conveyance of sewage from the surrounding area to treatment facilities. As a lift station, this facility uses pumps to move wastewater uphill or over long distances where gravity flow is insufficient. The station operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Clean Water Act and Indiana state environmental regulations, which set standards for effluent quality and infrastructure reliability. Typical lift stations in this region are designed with backup power and redundant pumps to ensure continuous operation. The station plays a critical role in preventing sewer overflows and protecting public health and the environment. By maintaining proper flow in the collection system, it helps reduce the risk of basement backups and untreated discharges into local waterways, such as the White River.

The facility is located in a densely populated urban area of Indianapolis, where aging infrastructure and combined sewer overflows are common challenges. Lift stations like this one are essential for managing peak flows during wet weather and preventing sanitary sewer overflows. The station's operation is subject to local stormwater management plans and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's oversight.
