Pump Station 15 (PS15) is the second largest pump station in Christchurch responsible for pumping wastewater from Woolston and the surrounding hill suburbs to the Christchurch treatment plant for 11,250 residential and 3700 commercial household equivalents. PS 15 was damaged during the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes suffering uplift which severed the main incomer delivery pipes and seriously compromised the station’s ability to operate. Emergency repairs were carried out which were sufficient until a permanent fix could be affected. In 2016, a major upgrade and rebuild of the pump station was undertaken under the SCIRT programme.
