Why Palm Coast homes need these repairs

Palm Coast is a planned Flagler County city of mostly owner-occupied homes built since the 1970s along canals and the Intracoastal. The city treats groundwater from shallow and deep aquifers at three plants, two of them membrane plants, and humidity, sandy soil and aging slab plumbing drive the calls.

Palm Coast's water supply and your plumbing

Palm Coast's Water Treatment Plant 1, serving the city since 1977, treats up to 6 million gallons a day from shallow aquifer wells 60 to 90 feet deep. [1]

Plant 2 (since 1992) treats deeper Floridan aquifer water with nanofiltration, up to 7.6 million gallons a day, and Plant 3 (since 2008) uses low-pressure reverse osmosis membranes for up to 3 million. [2]

Palm Coast plumbing questions

How do I know if my Palm Coast home has a slab leak?

Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off and a meter that keeps moving are the usual signs; a plumber can pinpoint it before opening the floor. Why it comes up in Palm Coast: Slab homes from the 1980s–2000s develop under-floor leaks.

When is a leaking water heater an emergency in Palm Coast?

A leak from the tank itself won't stop and usually means replacement; turn off the gas or power and the cold-water valve, then call. Why it comes up in Palm Coast: Humid garages and year-round use wear out tanks.

Where does Palm Coast's water come from?

From shallow and deep Floridan aquifer wells, treated at three city plants, two using membranes.

Is Palm Coast water soft?

Membrane plants remove much of the hardness, so heavy scale is uncommon on city water.

Why is my Palm Coast water discolored sometimes?

Main flushing or changes between plants can stir up sediment; run cold water until it clears.

Do Palm Harbor canal homes have special plumbing issues?

Older slab homes near the canals see salt-air corrosion on outdoor fittings and aging copper under the slab.
