Palm Coast’s Water Treatment Plant #2 has completed a major expansion project that doubles the facility’s distribution capacity from 2 million gallons to 4 million gallons of water at any given time.
This project began earlier this year in response to an essential operational need: the addition of a new 2-million-gallon water storage tank to enhance system reliability and better serve the community. The new tank — constructed over the past several months and officially placed online this week — provides improved storage capacity that ensures consistent delivery of clean, safe drinking water while strengthening the city’s emergency response capabilities, a city press release said.
“With this project now complete, the increase in water capacity will provide a vital infrastructure upgrade to our city and enhance our ability to provide clean, safe drinking water to our residents,” said Utility Director Brian Roche.
This expansion is one of several improvements underway at Water Treatment Plant #2. The facility is receiving a new sludge thickener to support the lime-softening process, and upgrades aimed at reducing ammonia through enhanced filtration, the press release said.
