The City of DeLand is planning to implement Per- and Polyuoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) treatment at six of its water treatment plants (WTPs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8) to meet new EPA regulations by April 2029. The preferred technology is PFAS-selective Ion Exchange (IX). This project will involve site improvements, process piping, instrumentation, controls, electrical modifications, and potential provisions for future expansion at these locations. The city is seeking low-interest financing through the Florida State Revolving Fund Program. This initiative is currently in the planning and review stage, with preliminary design criteria and cost estimates developed. The project scope includes the installation of new treatment systems, which will likely involve site clearing, grading, utility work, installation of process equipment, electrical and control system integration, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's needs and potential involvement before final bids and permits are issued.
