A vacuum station is used for storing sewage from a vacuum sewage pipe and then delivering the sewage to a sewage treatment plant or the like. The vacuum station includes a collection tank for collecting sewage, a plurality of vacuum pumps for depressurizing and pressurizing an interior of the collection tank, and a controller for controlling the plurality of vacuum pumps. The controller controls at least one of the vacuum pumps so as to rotate in normal direction so that the interior of the collection tank is depressurized to collect sewage into the collection tank, and at least one of the vacuum pumps so as to rotate in reverse direction when the sewage in the collection tank reaches a predetermined sewage level so that the interior of the collection tank is pressurized to discharge the sewage from the collection tank.
