Re: Requirements for Electrical Service to Connect to the
Hamburg Township Sanitary Sewer System (HTSSS)
To: Builder and/or Hamburg Township Property Owner:
Proper electrical service to the grinder pump control panel is
the responsibility of the property owner. As such you may choose
to complete the work yourself, after obtaining all required permits,
or you may hire any licensed electrician you wish to work
with. The Township does not have a suggested electrician list nor
do we recommend any specific electricians.
Prior to the installation of your grinder pump station any necessary
upgrades to your electrical service or circuit panel(s) must be
completed. This is to ensure proper start-up and function of the
grinder pump and to also avoid any damage to the controls or pump
caused by a lack of power supplied to the station.
The power source for the grinder pump station is typically supplied
from the service panel inside of the ho me. In some cases, power
may be tapped directly from the service meter. A disconnect
panel must be installed on the outside of the building. The
Township recommends the use of a 60 amp, 2 pole fra me with
two (2) 25 amp FRN fuses (air conditioner type) or a breaker style
enclosure. A lightning arrestor must also be attached. This
panel is needed for technicians to isolate power while servicing
the grinder station and to protect the equipment from lightning
strikes. All wires must be in conduit of suitable size, with all
entry points into panels sealed with a water and bug proof sealer
inside of the panel. The disconnect panel must be within eyesight
of the grinder control panel. Likewise, the control panel must
be within eyesight of the grinder pump station.
All power supply boxes from the home control panel and/or meter
connection must be permitted and inspected by the Livingston County
Building Depart ment. Wire types should not be mixed, i.e. copper
to aluminum or vice versa. Wire sizing is indicated in the sketch
that accompanies this letter.
Should you have any questions please call the DPW office at (810)
231-8158.
Thank You,
