The Licking Regional Water District (LRWD) is a public utility provider delivering centralized water and wastewater services throughout Licking County, Ohio. The district supports residential, commercial, and industrial growth by developing and maintaining critical infrastructure while working closely with local governments to meet the region’s evolving development needs. |
The Challenge:
The project called for a unique water booster station capable of pumping in two different directions. Designed to transfer water between the City of Pataskala, Ohio, and the Licking Regional Water District (LRWD), the goal was to interconnect the two systems so that either could supply water to the other during emergencies such as fires. This required reliable coordination between both systems, along with communication capabilities to keep each side aware of changing conditions.
The Solution:
Excel was able to develop and deliver a two-directional booster station to move water between the city and LRWD. The system included a pump, flow metering, and integrated communications for both directions, along with remote monitoring to give operators visibility and control across the interconnected systems. EFG also promoted the NoVault™ design as a solution due to its compact footprint and ability to blend into the surrounding area, further enhanced by a brick-patterned finish to maintain visual aesthetics.
