Coast in the top 1.1 percent statewide. With this new class rating, Palm

PLANNING
Adopt a Roadway
Palm Coast now has another roadway adopted to assist our City crews in keeping the roadways more attractive and free
of litter. Robb Adams has agreed to maintain a section of Rymfire Drive, beginning at Belle Terre Parkway going west
for about ¾ of a mile. This adoption, along with all others that have adopted a roadway, will free up some time that our
Public Works Department normally takes to clear our right-of-ways of litter and trash. We now have a total of 19 groups
that have adopted a roadway segment and we thank them all for their pride and community service in helping to keep
Palm Coast Beautiful!

The Flagler Humane Society would like to remind pet owners about the importance of making sure to thoroughly dry your pets after summer activities such as swimming in the pool or ocean. Leaving your pet with damp ears can cause them to develop an ear infection. Ear infections are painful and sometimes tedious to get cleared up. Dogs can develop bacteria that stems from an ear infection and if left untreated can spread to other parts of the body. Seek Veterinary attention for your pet if you notice a foul smell or discharge coming from your pet’s ears. Those pets with a long coat may need to have the hair plucked out of their ears by a groomer to further help in preventing moisture buildup. Donation Opportunities: The Flagler Humane Society are still collecting shoes. We welcome all shoes regardless of size, type, or condition. We were very successful in reaching our set goal last year and we would like to exceed it this year! Additional drop off locations can be found on the Flagler Humane Society website. “Doghouse Donation Boxes” are found at all the fire stations in Flagler County. 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). You can also purchase items via the Amazon.com link on the FHS website and ship them directly to the shelter. Stop by the Flagler Beach Fire Station and see Gibbs (a FHS alumni) hard at work! Outreach Adoption Events: Don’t forget that FHS have volunteers and adoptable pets at the Farmer’s Market in Flagler Beach every Friday and at PetSmart in Palm Coast every Saturday and Sunday. If you are interested in volunteering at these events, please contact Katie at [email protected]. Save the date for the next Mega Adoption Event in Jacksonville. It is scheduled for July 17 – 19. If you would like to volunteer at the event, email Katie at [email protected]. Adoption Specials: See the FHS website for upcoming adoption specials. Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: Save the Date for the next Yappy Hour. It is scheduled for July 22nd from 6 pm – 8 pm and will be hosted by Beach Front Grille. Mark your calendar and don’t miss out on these awesome social events! Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized spay and neuter programs for members of the community that need to have their pets or community pets sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814, email [email protected] for questions. FHS also offers a “Pet Food Pantry” for those that are in need of assistance. Please call to see if you qualify. To keep up with Flagler Humane Society happenings – visit us on our website at www.flaglerhumanesociety.org, the FHS Facebook/twitter, or via email at [email protected].
Animals ready for homes
Adoption specialist: Danielle Camic [email protected] (All adoptions and outreach) Information on events to benefit our homeless animals can be found on our website, www.flaglerhumanesociety.org
Domino Domino is a spayed senior female. She is 13 years old and in need of a
good retirement home. She is microchipped and up to date on her
vaccines. She has slight allergies but nothing that a good quality food won’t clear up. She was adopted
from FHS when she was 1 year old and recently returned because the
owners were moving and had to give her up. This old gal has a few good years left and she would rather not spend them at the shelter. She is
good with other dogs and tolerates cats. Come and meet this golden girl
today!

Re: Week in Review
The average water demand for the week was 7.738 million gallons per day; the average wastewater
flow was 5.613 million gallons per day.
Crews installed 11 new domestic water meters, 3 new reuse meters, 1 new PEP tank and set up one
dewatering system for another PEP tank install.
This week 393 utility customers were shut off for non-payment.
There were a total of 50 calls after hours.
Wastewater crews worked with PBM Constructors installing new pump bases and discharge piping
at Pump Station 65-2 completing the first phase of the station upgrade. The Spectra-shield lining
system was installed this week by Concrete Conservation Inc. The station is now ready for FPL to
upgrade the power and then the crews will install new pumps.
The 200 horsepower motor for the centrifuge at the Wastewater Plant has been rebuilt and
reinstalled. In addition, the clutch assembly was replaced and the unit is now back on line. It will be
necessary to run the centrifuge for extended hours to catch up on sludge wasting and dewatering that
could not be done while the motor was being repaired.
This week crews installed 400’ pipe for the Royal Palms Parkway Reuse Line and connected to the
south side of the directional bore. They started the cleanup process on all the pipe laid on the south
side of the road.
On Monday at 8:45am a 6” water main on Woodfield Lane split which affected 17 homes for
approximately 8 hours. This also affected the residents on Woodford Lane and will require extensive
clean up once the area has dried out.
Water Distribution crews completed 5 water service line service repairs, 7 meter pit
adjustments/replacements and tested and repaired 6 backflow preventers.
Wastewater crews inspected via CCTV 10,469 feet of gravity sewer, cleaned 5,840 feet of mains and
cleaned 53 manholes. They also repaired one service lateral, 2 pep mains and a reuse line in Town
Center.
Continue to perform sewer inspections for the Utility Development Division; completed 17 this
week.
