I have a property in Brazos county and the City of Bryan recently proposed a Sewer Lift Station going on the neighboring property. It would only be a lift station, not a treatment plant. Do any of y'all have experience with lift stations? Odors? Noise?
They are also proposing a pressure sewer line easement across the front of my land. Any experience with these?
Thanks in advance for your info.
I cross posted on the real estate board as well

Noise usually isn't a problem. The motors spinning the pumps are usually 30-40 feet underground, below 3 to 4 slabs of concrete. Smell also usually isn't a problem any more than the vents on the roof of your house. While the water exiting your toilet stinks, the water from the kitchen, dish washer, clothes washer, shower, and sinks do not. When it all gets combined, sewage doesn't smell near as bad as you think or as bad as it does at the treatment plant. If the wind is blowing correctly, I can smell the sewage from the roof vents from my house more regularly than the lift station.

Force mains are usually pretty robust and are only pressurized part of the time. I have one running through my front yard and have never had an issue. Construction to build it will be by-far the biggest issue you face.

No I don't with City size lift stations.
So for what it's worth + getting NO responses ....
1980 private residence septic lift station/pump to dist.box, then drain field:

NO NOISE 1/2hp submerged pump, actuated by float ... less noise than a Whirlpool tub, a bit more than a hose submerged filling a swimming pool
unless it falls over and even then noises goes unnoticed until it burns out
ODORs will sometimes escape slightly & follow the breezes, most notable at high demand/flow times
Landscapers have good ideas what to plant as screens, some seasonally mitigate odors


As for the other ....
