Jacobs to design Florida water treatment plant upgrades for PFAS removal

Jacobs (J) was selected by the City of Boynton Beach in South Florida to evaluate and design upgrades at two water treatment plants to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances from the city’s groundwater supplies to comply with new U.S. federal drinking water regulations. Jacobs will evaluate the city’s existing facilities to assess treatment capabilities for PFAS removal and develop a comprehensive facilities plan for the city’s treatment plants, associated source water supply and residuals management systems. Once the facilities plan is complete, Jacobs will design the improvements and provide construction management services. The city received a loan from Florida’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program for project planning and design.
