Jervis Pump Station Upgrade

<div class="ExternalClassFAD24A61D1D54DAA89B2EC374C544B9F">The Jervis Pump Station is part of critical sewer infrastructure located at Sunset Beach Park in Vancouver. The pump station safely moves wastewater from downtown Vancouver to the Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Richmond. Metro Vancouver will be installing backup power facilities at the Jervis Pump Station to provide reliable power in the case of power outages and prevent sewer overflows.Metro Vancouver installed a temporary backup generator in the fall of 2023, which will be in place until the permanent generator is installed.Metro Vancouver is working closely with the Vancouver Park Board to ensure the temporary and permanent generators blend well into Sunset Beach Park, preserving its natural beauty. After the completion of the permanent generator project, the site will be restored to its pre-construction condition.<ul class="fa-ul"><li> <a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/jervis-pump-station-upgrade-fact-sheet-2025-01.pdf">Fact Sheet - Jervis Pump Station Upgrade - Permanent Generator</a></li></ul> </div>
