We have 218 wastewater lift stations and growing. Does anyone have any research

available or a point of contact that might have a ratio for number of

employees vs. number of lift stations? What type of employees are required

( mechanics, electricians, operators)? Organizational charts? Any help

would be appreciated.

Your organisation must already have a heap of history and experience so why not start there.

It also sounds like you need to work out those things that are going to effect staffing like:

1) What level of maintenance you want to operate at.

2) What level of service you want to achieve.

3) What is the current condition , age , reliability etc and where do you want to be in the short and long term.

4) Does your system have particular operational issues like high infiltration rates , flooding , overloading , power unreliability , short/long detention times etc.

Until you work out those things it will be difficult to use/compare someone elses data.

We have look at all of those areas and are continuing to evolve.  When trying to defend a request to add additional resources and personnel your are always asked "what do other people do?"   We are now at that point.  What are other people doing?  I don't think you'll find any two systems alike.  We are always looking for a better way or idea to do our job.

Please e-mail me at dhoffman@clarksville.com with any information.

I work for a city in Texas.  We currently have 80 lift stations that are taken care of by 4 operators that do it all as far as checking them and maintaining them.
