Water System Disinfection Change
Palm Coast is temporarily changing how it disinfects drinking water in the Beverly Beach and Eagle Lakes systems starting Nov. 4. The water will still be safe, but residents there might notice a different taste or smell for a while.
Stormwater Construction Standards
A resident asked for written findings, independent review, and public documentation whenever development approval triggers complaints of stormwater damage to neighboring properties. Staff said they've already corresponded with him and improved plans based on his ideas.
Water Shortage Restrictions
Palm Coast is now under Phase III water restrictions as Northeast Florida water managers tighten rules. That means your lawn-watering schedule has changed, so check which days you can still irrigate. The goal is to stretch limited water supplies and avoid deeper shortages.
