Stallings Booster Station - Distribution Pump Station in Evansville, Indiana

Stallings Booster Station is a distribution pump station located at 8401 Highway 41 N in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana, United States. The facility is currently operational and serves as a component of the regional water distribution network, ensuring adequate pressure and flow for residential, commercial, and industrial users in the area. As a booster station, this facility is part of the broader pumping infrastructure that maintains water supply reliability. In Indiana, such facilities operate under the oversight of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and must comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and state waterworks regulations. Typical booster stations in the region are designed to handle moderate flow capacities, often in the range of hundreds to thousands of cubic meters per hour, depending on the service area. The station plays a critical role in maintaining water service continuity for the Evansville area. By boosting pressure in the distribution system, it helps ensure adequate fire flow and potable water delivery to customers. Its location along a major highway facilitates maintenance access and integration with the broader utility grid.

The facility operates within the Ohio River watershed, which provides the primary water source for the region. Booster stations like this one are essential for maintaining water pressure across varying elevations and distances, reducing the risk of contamination from low-pressure events. The local infrastructure is subject to aging concerns, and regular maintenance is required to prevent leaks and ensure energy efficiency. Redundancy in pumping capacity is a key factor in system resilience, particularly during peak demand or emergency conditions.
