Water District Presents Projects
Last Thursday, members of the South Florida Water Management District’s (SFWMD) governing board met in the Lee County Commission Chambers in downtown Fort Myers where presentations on past and future Everglades restoration projects were received with mixed emotions from those who would like to see more focus on efforts to store and treat water south of Lake Okeechobee. During a discussion on local water quality projects, Lee County Natural Resources Director Roland Ottolini said that the major driver of those projects is the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process and compliance with Best Management Practices (BMAPs) and that the county has made a $37 million commitment to these programs.  CLICK HERE to read full story. 




Steele to Present Water Rate Study on Monday
At this Monday’s Council workshop – scheduled for 2pm – Interim Town Manager Jim Steele will present the results of the 2016 Water Rate Study conducted by the consulting firm Raftelis Financial Consultants. This week, Steele showed us a draft of that study and explained that the reasoning behind doing the study was to give the Town a better understanding of how much residents’ potable water bills would need to be raised to pay for the completion of the water line replacement project, the building of a reserve fund, the increased costs for operation and maintenance and the increases in what Lee County charges us for water.
