OV15 area light and indicators. The area light is not a dayburner, but is turned on manualy with a switch for work at night. The indicators are :green indicates power is on and available to the pumps (2). Amber indicates one or both pumps are running.
I am not familiar with sirens, other than what I have learned from those more in the know. I will post a pic, if I can find a light near it and on Flickr.
@ Mike, The MV was turned on for testing and the amber running light was on during a pump run. These stations are inspected regularly to find problems to prevent flooding of underpasses. They also have a 480V input jack to plug in a generator in case of a power outage.
@Mike - The pump station pumps rain water from an freeway underpass that goes below the normal drainage level. There is a storage tank under the street to hold sudden surges of water so it can be pumped out. We make regular inspections to prevent failures in the event of a rain storm. The ash look is probably just dust or Diesel soot and tire rubber dust that has accumulated over the years.
