Case Study: City of Palm Coast, FL

The City of Palm Coast, located on the east coast of Florida, expanded their existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to increase capacity to 6.83 MGD due to population growth, as well as add the production of reclaimed reuse water for use within the City. The existing facility disposed effluent wastewater at rapid infiltration basin sites, spray fields, and a wet weather discharge site. With the addition of tertiary filtration, the plant added disposal of effluent to reclaimed reuse customers, which use the high quality water for golf course and lawn irrigation; therefore, providing the benefit of preventing the wasting of potable or surface water.
