The Low Lake Level Pumping Station (L3PS), another critical component to securing the water supply, works in tandem with the third intake. Situated on the shore of Lake Mead, the facility comprises 22 low-lift pumps and 12 high-lift pumps, which are equipped to transport water from the lake to treatment plants effectively. The impressive engineering capabilities at L3PS allow it to handle the weight and complexities of moving water, highlighting the intricate planning involved in operating such a demanding system.
