The EZZ KLEAN and Storm Water Safety

The EZZ Klean ™ goes to work protecting the pristine waters of the Umpqua Lighthouse Park.

The Umpqua Lighthouse pump station at the park is in close proximity to the crystal clear waters of Lake Marie and less than a mile from the famous Salmon waters on Winchester Bay. A sewage over flow can occur with any sanitary pumping station and can be harmful to the environment. The environment needs its own safety beacon, similar to the Umpqua Lighthouse protecting the maritime industry.

Here is where the EZZ Klean™ Solution comes in.

The bright red EZZ Klean tube stands ready to help lower the effluent in the event of a power loss and subsequent pump shut down. The stationary tube with a quick connect top allows workmen to access the pump vault in a matter of a minute without looking for keys or special wrenches to remove hatches. In the case of the Umpqua Lighthouse pump station it is a dry deck wet well design so if the sewage rises to the dry deck level the waste water could wreak havoc on the close couple centrifugal pumps and electrical equipment. “An SSO is something we don’t even want to think about” said Mike Colllins Oregon State Parks regional manager out of Salem, “but with the high winds and many storms that buffet the coastal range. We looked at the EZZ Klean as added insurance towards protection of our beautiful park. As an added benefit we have many volunteers who work and add value to keeping our parks beautiful. We recognize that these folks do a great job but should a high alarm sound at one of our pump stations we wouldn’t want them near the dangers of a pump station. They could however point the Vac Truck operator to the” bright red flag” where the “pop top” opening at the EZZ Klean is located, till more skilled help arrives!”

The Umpqua Lighthouse pump station was recently updated with new close coupled “Dri-prime” pumps and a complete MCC and remote terminal alarm control units. With all this the park rangers know that the red light flashing is that of the Bright Red Beacon of the Umpqua Lighthouse and not the much smaller version mounted at the pump station itself.
