Broad Cove Pump Station
One Downer Avenue
 
 Our biggest station and main link with the MWRA, this station was built in 1956. 
This station handles flow from many area residences as well as almost all of our other stations.
A new 100 KW diesel generator was installed in 1997.

Both existing pumps were rebuilt with new stuffing boxes and impellers
and a new larger capacity 3rd pump was also installed at the same time that
the electrical service was upgraded.

A new bubbler style liquid level controller replaced the float system.
Several other electrical  updates & upgrades were completed in recent years
