Did you know that residents of Jupiter have the best drinking water in the southeast United States? Jupiter Utilities has received many awards for water treatment excellence. In fact, over the past two decades, Jupiter’s water utility has been honored by more than 50 awards for excellence in operations, treatment and drinking water.
A few of the most recent awards include:
2019 Membrane Facility of the Year Award
2019 Excellence Award - Large Community Water Treatment Plant Southeast District
2019 Outstanding Membrane Plant Award
2016 Outstanding Distribution System Division IV - First Place
2016 Excellence Award - Large Community Water Treatment Plant Southeast District
2014 Most Outstanding Class A Water Treatment Plant Award
2008 Safe Drinking Water Act Excellence Award for Large Ground Water Public Water Supply Utilities by The Environmental Protection Agency
In 1990, Jupiter Utilities studied anticipated growth, reviewed the impact of that growth on natural resources, and researched the most advanced water systems in the country to formulate a safer, more environmentally-friendly water utility. The result was the creation of a reverse osmosis (RO) program, which stands as one of the largest brackish water desalination programs in the United States today. The water plant is capable of producing over 70% of the current average daily supply by desalination. This allows them to maximize the preservation of fresh water for our local environment in times of prolonged drought.
The Town of Jupiter Utilities has recently implemented the nanofiltration treatment which has replaced the older conventional lime softening water treatment facility. Nanofiltration, like reverse osmosis, utilizes advanced membrane treatment technology to remove undesirable dissolved constituents from the groundwater. It is considered the ultimate barrier against virus and bacteria that can be found in raw water.
The nanofiltration process utilizes the fresh shallow aquifer as its supply. The reverse osmosis process utilizes brackish water from the deep Floridan Aquifer. Both RO and nanofiltration processes operate by forcing raw water under a high pressure through a semipermeable membrane that is capable of separating contaminants from the flow stream as a function of the membrane's chemical and physical properties.
