Abstract:
A water table lowering assembly includes a discharge line connected to a submersible pump. At least two brackets are secured along the length of the discharge line. A cable is connected at one end to the submersible pump. The cable extends parallel to the discharge line and is connected to the at least two brackets spaced along the discharge line. The opposite end of the cable from the end connected to the pump is formed into a loop through which a hook secured to a backhoe or other lifting apparatus is secured. The backhoe lifts the assembly of the pump and discharge line into a vertical orientation so as to lower the pump, followed by a succeeding length of discharge line, through the opening of a manhole and into a collection basin. Water collected in the collection basin is evacuated by the submersible pump so as to lower the water table surrounding the collection basin.
