Parker Pump Station Replacement Project
AT A GLANCE
The City broke ground at the project site on January 6, 2023. The Parker Pump Station Replacement Project is vital to the City of Coronado's current and future infrastructure and is the largest of 20 pump stations citywide. The City is investing $26 million to replace the existing, aging Parker Pump Station with a new pump station. This critical infrastructure, located at 8th Street and Coronado Avenue, is responsible for collecting stormwater and sanitary sewer flows. The new pump station will improve operational efficiency and prevent flooding in homes, and pollution to the ocean. An additional 6,000 square feet of green space will also be added for the neighborhood to enjoy.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Located at Eighth Street at Coronado Avenue, the existing Parker Pump Station was constructed in 1983 and services both storm water and wastewater flows. The new Parker Pump Station will replace the current aging and failing station located at the western end of the city, along the Naval Base boundary. The Parker Pump Station is a critical piece of infrastructure responsible for collecting and routing storm water and sanitary sewer flows in the Country Club area of the city. The replacement project will completely rebuild the Parker Pump Station to provide service for generations and better protect the pump station from impacts from flooding and storm surge.

PROJECT DETAILS
- Reconfiguration of the site to provide approximately 6,000 square feet of publicly accessible green space.
- Relocation of all planned above-ground structures to approximately 75 feet behind the face of curb along Coronado Avenue.
- Significantly reduce the need for a temporary, above-ground storm water and wastewater bypass system during construction by keeping the existing pump station operational throughout construction of the new station.
