Wastewater Treatment Facility 2 Expansion
This expansion project, which began in September 2022, upgrades Wastewater Treatment Plant #2 with modern treatment systems and new supporting infrastructure. Improvements include enhanced headworks screening and grit removal (systems that remove debris and sand before treatment), a 2.0 MGD Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) treatment train (advanced filtration technology), new sludge holding tanks, and expanded reuse pumping capabilities. Together, these upgrades increase treatment capacity, improve efficiency, and support Palm Coast’s long-term sustainability goals.
