The Flagler Humane Society would like to remind all pet owners that Tick and Flea Season is here. Florida does not get cold enough to kill off the tick and flea population. Due to this, when it gets cooler the ticks and fleas are in search of a warm place to go. This is usually on your furry friend! Stop by FHS today and pick up some tick and flea products for your pets. FHS also offers heartworm prevention with a current negative heartworm test done at our wellness clinic or low cost vaccination clinic.

You can drop off donations anytime at your nearest fire station. FHS appreciates all donations, especially those from our Wish List (available at flaglerhumanesociety.org/wish-list).

schedule. Come and meet this sweet gentleman today.

Re: Week in Review

The average water demand for the week was 6.410 million gallons per day; the average

wastewater flow was 5.708 million gallons per day.

Crews installed 5 new domestic water meters,

There were a total of 45 calls after hours.

This week there were 227 disconnects for non-payment.

On Tuesday, at 7:00 pm the 10” cast iron water main on Palm Coast Parkway cracked. A crew

was called in and completed the repair by 2:00 AM. However, 55 businesses, including Chick-

fil-a and Taco Bell on Palm Coast Parkway and businesses on Boulder Rock Drive were affected

by the precautionary boil water notice as required by the FDEP. This also affected businesses on

Pine Cone Drive, Leanni Way and Lupi Court.

The pilot study to resolve outstanding issues at the Water Treatment Plant #2 ZLD project

continues with feeding of TwinOx (chlorine dioxide), adjusting feed rates and sampling results.

Equipment was ordered which will enable the team to conduct bench-scale testing on different

polymers. This week’s progress meeting was conducted on-site with a representative from the

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) here to get an update and to see the

facility.

Wastewater crews inspected via CCTV 6,549 feet of gravity sewer, cleaned 2,100 feet of gravity

sewer, and inspected 91 manholes.

Water Distribution crews completed 6 waster service replacements, 3 waster service line repairs

and tested and repaired 151 backflow preventers.

Wastewater plant staff continues to work with PBM Constructors on rotor repairs. The final rotor

shaft was delivered by PBM and staff has completed reassembling and is now ready to install the

new equipment.

Utility Department – Week in Review – January 21, 2016 Page 2

This week a crew from Public Works began removal of existing broken and cracked roadway at the

wastewater treatment plant to be replaced with new concrete.

Pink Army 5K raises $12,585 for mammograms, diagnostic tests for local women Palm Coast – Last fall’s Pink Army 5K was a huge success – raising $12,585.35 for Florida

Hospital Flagler’s breast cancer fund, which provides screening mammograms, diagnostic studies and education to qualified local people. Representatives of the hospital and the City of Palm Coast celebrated Tuesday with the presentation of an oversized check at the City Council meeting. Nearly 1,000 people walked or ran in the 5K, a one-mile support walk or the Kids Fun Run. The race, part of the Palm Coast Running Series, started at the hospital and looped through Central Park in Town Center on Oct. 11, 2015. Florida Hospital Flagler Chief Operating Office JoAnne King thanked the City for its partnership, and also thanked Chairwoman Helga van Eckert and the United Way Women’s Initiative. “The Pink Army is making a difference,” King told the City Council. “With these funds, you will see that women who perhaps would not have access to screening mammograms and such do get that access.” “Since the last 5K in October of 2014, 64 women received 81 different procedures – screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds and biopsies,” she said. “And out of those 64, I have no doubt you saved a life. So on behalf of Florida Hospital Flagler, thank you.” Palm Coast Events Supervisor Ginger Parnell also recognized the hospital and Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation for their ongoing support of other special events offered by the City to encourage residents and visitors to be active and healthy. Those include the Senior Games, the International Festival and the Birds of a Feather Fest. Mark your calendars now – the 2016 Pink Army 5K is scheduled for Oct. 16. Join the Pink Army!
