RE: condenser water sump
It has been my experience that the function of a condenser water sump, in a utility plant, is identical to the basin/sump in a cooling tower. The exception is that instead of the basin/sump being part of the cooling tower, it is usually a concrete basin/sump containing submerged pumps, located below the cooling towers.
For general Cooling Tower questions, refer to the following:
http://www.cti.org/whatis/glossary.shtml
Cold water basin - A device underlying the tower to receive the cold water from the tower and direct its flow to the suction line or sump.
Sump - Lowest portion of the basin to which cold circulating water flows: usually the point of circulating pumps suction connection. Also known as Basin Sump.
It is hard to see, however there is a picture of this on the following website:

Refer to the "2-Cell Cooling Tower Pumps and Motors in Front of Concrete Sump". Notice the Cooling Towers are above ground with pipes running into the concrete sumps.
I hope this helps.
