System Description
Deer Creek Drainage Basin Authority operates and maintains a conveyance sewer system for the purpose of transporting sanitary sewage from its customers in West Deer, Indiana, Richland, and Hampton Townships to Allegheny Valley Joint Sewage Authority treatment plant, which is located in Harmar Township. The conveyance system consists of approximately 125 miles of mainline sanitary sewer, four pump stations, and almost 3,000 manholes.
Movement through the system is primarily by gravity flow from the residential and commercial customers sites to the outlying pump stations (Bigler, Hampshire, and Deer Run Pump Stations). The flow continues from the (3) pump stations and converges at the Rich Hill Pump Station, where flow is transfered by three alternating centripetal-pumps operating at 1,500 gallons per minute into the force main. The force main pipe carries the sewage the final distance to the Allegheny Valley Joint Sewage Treatment Plant. On average, approximately 2 million gallons per day of sewage is transported through the system to Allegheny Valley for treatment.
