Flagler County is one of Florida's fastest-growing counties with Palm Coast as the primary population center. Many Palm Coast subdivisions were platted with septic systems in the 1970s-80s, and the county has pursued septic-to-sewer conversion in some areas. Coastal properties along Flagler Beach are vulnerable to hurricanes and erosion. The county's rapid growth increases pressure on both septic and sewer infrastructure.
