Company Profile:
The Dare County desalination plants are located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, within the community of Kill Devil Hills and on Hatteras Island. Presently, three desalination plants are in operation, with a fourth plant planned to begin production in the community of Stumpy Point in 2002. The Dare County Water Department, the community and its governing boards, made the decision to utilize desalination in the mid-1980’s, prompted by the need for consistently available, potable-quality water, in order to strengthen the economic growth and financial well being of the county. Presently 5.4 million gallons per day (mgd) of desalination capacity exist within the Dare County Water system, serving 30,000 permanent residents.
