NEWS RELEASE – City of Palm Coast Contact: Cindi Lane, Communications & Marketing Manager 386-986-3708; cell 386-214-4729 Jan. 28, 2014
Palm Coast water treatment plants earn state ‘Plant Excellence Award’ Palm Coast, Fla. – The City of Palm Coast is being awarded the 2013 Plant Excellence Award by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in recognition of the Utility Division’s outstanding water treatment plant operation, maintenance and compliance. The award will be presented Feb. 20 at the Florida Rural Water Association’s “Focus on Change” seminar in Lake City. The award is based such factors as staff training and certification, safety, emergency preparedness, outstanding plant appearance, record keeping, conservation and customer relations. Palm Coast’s Utility Division, part of the City’s Public Works Department, is the only Florida utility to receive this year’s award in the FLDEP’s Northeast 19-county region. This is the fourth year since 2008 that all three Palm Coast plants were considered and awarded. “This honor is indicative of the extreme professionalism and dedication consistently displayed by the entire water operations staff, as well as the entire City Public Works/Utility Division,” said James Hogan, Water Operations Manager for the City of Palm Coast. “Our employees take great pride in providing quality water and wastewater service to our community, and I am extremely proud to work with such a great group of dedicated individuals.” The City of Palm Coast takes great pride in its excellent water treatment. The City’s water comes from the confined surficial aquifer and the deeper Floridan Aquifer. This fresh groundwater is treated for optimum drinking and household use. Water is treated at the City’s three facilities – a conventional lime-softening plant and two nano-filtration (or low-pressure, reverse osmosis) plants – and combine to provide consistent, high-quality water city-wide. In addition to removing contaminants, the City softens the water to make it easier on skin and hair and to decrease the amount of soap needed for washing. A new Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant is under construction now at Water Plant 2 on Citation Boulevard and will open later this year. The ZLD plant will treat and recover up to 1.2 million gallons of water per day – reclaiming a resource that previously was wasted and also better protects the environment. For more information, please contact James Hogan at 386-986-2374.
NEWS RELEASE – City of Palm Coast Contact: Cindi Lane, Communications & Marketing Manager 386-986-3708; cell 386-214-4729 Jan. 30, 2014 Upcoming Palm Coast Lunch n’ Lecture and Discover Trip focus on World War II history Palm Coast, Fla. – The history of World War II will take the spotlight at February’s Lunch n’ Lecture and Discover Trip programs, offered by the Palm Coast Parks and Recreation Department. The Lunch n’ Lecture will be Wednesday, Feb. 19, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., with the topic, “The Battle of Midway: Incredible Victory,” featuring guest speaker Dr. Leo Murphy of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Those interested in World War II will also want to take this month’s Discover Trip to the Fantasy of Flight attraction in Polk City. That trip will be Saturday, Feb. 22, departing the Palm Coast Community Center at 8 a.m. and returning at 5 p.m. Murphy, ERAU associate professor and retired Naval aviator, will describe the Battle of Midway in an illustrated presentation. One of the greatest sea battles in world history, the Battle of Midway is a complicated saga of Japanese overconfidence, intelligence well-acted upon, exceptional American decision-making and extraordinary valor. Occurring just six months after the devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, in a single masterful stroke a battered U.S. Navy halted the ferocious Japanese advance across the Pacific in an epic World War II aircraft carrier duel that ended with five flattops sunk. The free Lunch n’ Lecture program will be held at the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE. Pre-registration is required. Sign up at www.palmcoastgov.com (search for “activities”). Registration is also now under way for the Feb. 22 Discover Trip to Fantasy of Flight. Immerse yourself in the glory days of aviation! Join the flight crew and climb aboard the legendary aircraft that changed the course of World War II – the B-17 Flying Fortress. And that’s just the start. Experience all eras of inspiring aircraft in the world’s largest private collection of vintage aircraft – from pioneer “flying machines” all the way through World War I, the Golden Age, the legends of World War II, and even flying movie stars. Cost for the trip is $60, which includes transportation, admission and lunch on-site. Space is limited, so register early. Sign up at www.palmcoastgov.com (search for “activities”). For more information on either program, call Parks and Recreation at 386-986-2323.
