A northern suburb of Kansas City.
The community of Weatherby Lake is a northern suburb of Kansas City, set
on rolling hills surrounding a 280-acre man-made lake.
The Land
A rolling hillside setting made a conventional gravity sewer system an expensive
proposition.
The Problem
• Extensive lake frontage
• Rolling terrain
The Solution
• The E/One Sewer System required only 2" to 6" PVC piping
buried at a depth of just 30".
• Annual service costs are less then half the engineer's original
estimate.
The shallow depth allowed the trenching to be cut with a trencher, reducing
labor and infrastructure labor and infrastructure costs dramatically. The
average annual service costs is about $33 per house.

Weatherby Lake Today — Doubled in Size
The original 309 homes were built in 1974. Today, after more than twenty
years of successful operation, the E/One Sewer System has grown to more
than 600 pumps.
Testimonial
"We have over 600 E/One grinder pumps in service with an average of
10 new homes being added to the system each year. I would like to point
out that over 300 of these pumps are over 20 years old. Our O&M costs,
about $33 per pump annually, have remained very consistent and we are very
pleased with the quality and reliability of the E/One grinder pumps."
