JEA examines options for Atlantic Beach including possible acquisition of city's water and sewer utility. Costly state regulations spur study.
said the"emerging list of options" covers a variety of approaches for complying with a costly state regulations that are coming down the pike.
"We do come with a larger system so economies of scale may be able to provide some benefit," he said."That's part of what we have to test in this study — do we actually bring benefit?" Another option would be deep well injection that places treated wastewater underground in places where it cannot seep into aquifers that are a source of drinking water. But that is not the preferred long-term option for Atlantic Beach because it has a high cost and is"not yet a proven technology" for such disposal, according to a March 2022 city report examining how Atlantic Beach could comply with the state regulation.
JEA already provides electric service in Atlantic Beach. The town's water and sewer utility department mainly serves residences. Its largest customers are the Fleet Landing retirement community and the U.S. Navy.
