The Hannah Street Pumping Station, located in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, is undergoing an extensive $84 million upgrade, as announced by the city Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Since its establishment in 1977, this pumping station has played a pivotal role in New York City's sewer infrastructure. Unlike most sewer systems that operate on gravity, certain low-lying areas require pump stations to function effectively. A temporary pipeline has been installed to facilitate continued wastewater flow during the upgrade process, which is slated for completion in 2027, contributing to the DEP's network of 96 pump stations across NYC.
