Innovative project received the ACEC 2025 Outstanding Achievement Award.
The Northwestern Water & Sewer District’s project in Perrysburg Township is an innovative upgrade to the sewer system. It replaces an outdated pump station with a submersible-style design, featuring pumps 50 feet underground for improved safety and efficiency.
Using advanced technology like variable speed drives, the station adapts to changing water flow. The project also includes a new 48-inch sewer line, a backup generator, and a visually appealing control building that blends into the community. By minimizing environmental impact and planning for future growth, this project sets a new standard for sustainable, community-integrated infrastructure.
