Our project upgrades the water systems in Panacea, Florida to prepare for possible failures and supply safe, reliable drinking water. The water system serves a population of a little over 1,000 people. Due to the small population, the State of Florida will fund this project. The state funding will be used to replace a nearly mile-long portion of a 12" water pipeline, upgrade the water distribution system, and design a new well with a water treatment system.
