Engineered to Perform. Built to Last. Trusted by Cities.

From wastewater treatment to stormwater control, municipal infrastructure depends on pumping systems that operate efficiently, reliably, and without interruption. At Barco Pump, we understand what’s at stake. That’s why we offer high-performance pump packages tailored to the critical demands of city utilities and infrastructure.

Proven Solutions for Every Application

Municipal needs vary widely — but whether you’re bypassing sewer lines, managing flood response, or handling routine water transfer, Barco Pump has you covered.

We specialize in:

  • Sewer Bypass Pumping
    Maintain system flow and compliance during repairs or upgrades.

  • Emergency Stormwater & Flood Control
    Deploy reliable pumps quickly when every second counts.

  • Lift Station Backup Support
    Keep essential systems running in case of power or pump failure.

  • Routine Water Transfer
    Efficient movement of water for treatment or redistribution.

Pump Types Commonly Used in the Municipal Sector

Municipal operations require pump systems that can handle everything from clean water transfer to solid-laden sewage. Barco Pump offers a comprehensive range of pump types to match every application:

  • Self-Priming Pumps
    Ideal for sewer bypass and flood control, these pumps are easy to start, maintain, and operate without external priming systems.

  • Priming-Assisted (Dry-Prime) Pumps
    Designed for high-volume applications and fast deployment during emergency situations such as stormwater overflow or lift station failure.

  • Electric Submersible Pumps
    Commonly used in water treatment plants and drainage projects, submersible pumps offer quiet operation, space efficiency, and continuous-duty reliability.

  • Hydraulic Submersible Pumps
    A powerful solution for handling challenging solids, slurries, and bypass needs — particularly in confined or hard-to-access locations.

  • Chopper Pumps (Vaughan)
    Specifically engineered to macerate solids, prevent clogging, and handle highly viscous or fibrous wastewater. A top choice for wastewater treatment and sludge control.

Barco Pump packages are built with pumpends from Gorman-Rupp, Cornell, Pioneer, and Vaughan, ensuring top-tier performance and reliability under pressure.
