A pump station provides information on the physical structure within which pumps are installed. The pump station can be created as a point object or as a polygon object. The polygon can be used to represent the boundaries of the building or structure itself. The pump station object includes information about the construction of the building, the surrounding area and any difficulties associated with accessing the station.

There may be many pumps associated with a pump station. A pump is associated with a pump station by placing the pump geographically within the pump station boundaries. Similarly, generator objects may be associated with the pump station by locating the objects within the pump station boundary.

See Pump Station (Collection) Data Fields and Pump Station (Distribution) Data Fields for further information.
