Yes. This building is in an area up north where the temperature drops to -40 to -50 deg.C in the winter. The suction pipe from gravity tanks to pumphouse is heat traced and isulated. Running relief discharge to tank will be a big cost. The flow meter runs back to the tank,bu it is too small to connect the relief discharge. Originally they had it dump to a splash pad outside pumphouse, and for obvious reasons didn't like it when it started to dump water during pump tests.
