Hurricane Milton and Helene brought widespread damage to Pinellas County, impacting both residential septic systems and public infrastructure. Currently, ACE Septic & Waste is working under FEMA guidelines to prioritize emergency lift station services in Pinellas, especially in the Clearwater and St. Petersburg areas. Lift stations play a critical role in managing wastewater, especially after a natural disaster. By focusing on restoring these systems, we can ensure that sewage services resume across affected areas and reduce the environmental impact.
What Are Lift Stations and Why Are They Important?
Lift stations are an essential part of modern wastewater management, responsible for moving sewage from lower to higher elevations, especially in areas like Pinellas County, where the flow of wastewater can’t rely on gravity alone. After floods or water surges like from Hurricane Milton and Helene, lift stations often face issues such as power outages, mechanical failures, or debris blockages. Without functional lift stations, wastewater cannot be transported effectively, leading to sewage backups, health hazards, and environmental damage. That’s why restoring these stations is crucial to bringing communities back to normal.
Immediate Challenges After Hurricane Milton
The aftermath of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene caused extensive damage to septic systems, lift stations, and storm drains. Blocked storm drains prevent proper drainage, causing sewage backups, while debris-laden pumps and flooded wastewater stations require urgent attention. These issues must be resolved before standard residential septic repairs can begin, making storm drain cleaning and emergency pump station services a top priority.
