In a dry well station, what feature is present?

• A. The pump is submerged in the wet well.
• B. A wet well for housing the pump & motor.
• C. There is no wet well at all.
• D. The station uses a dry-run motor.

Answer: (B)

In this type of station, the pumping equipment is placed in a dedicated, protected area associated with the station’s structure to keep the motor and mechanics accessible. The feature described as a wet well housing the pump and motor reflects that setup: the pump and its motor are located in a contained space that is part of the station’s wet environment, allowing the pump to draw from the collected wastewater and be serviced without exposing the electrical components to the wet well itself. This arrangement differs from a submerged pump in the wet well or from having no wet well at all, and the option about a “dry-run motor” isn’t a standard feature.
