A message from Lee County UtilitiesLee County Utilities will be temporarily converting its disinfectant process from chloramines to free chlorine residual from May 1 through May 21. This is a routine measure that is common for water utilities using chloramines as its primary disinfectant. Anyone who uses a kidney dialysis machine at home should contact his or her equipment supplier so the proper filtering equipment may be installed. Tropical fish or aquatic animal owners should contact a local tropical fish store for appropriate pretreatment of water before adding water to tanks. Customers may notice a temporary change in the taste, odor, and color of the water, which is not harmful. Again, this is a routine measure to ensure our customers of clean, safe potable water. .

Island Wide Streetlight Project FPL Update!We understand there have been concerns regarding the recent removal of foundations along Estero Boulevard. We want to assure you that this work is necessary to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.
During routine inspections, the project engineer identified structural inconsistencies in the first 30 foundations installed. These foundations did not meet the required specifications and did not pass inspection. To ensure long-term safety and compliance, we made the decision to remove and replace them. The new foundations will adhere to all structural requirements and standards set forth by the Lee County Department of Transportation. This will provide improved durability and safety for the community. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a safe, high-quality project for Fort Myers Beach.

Sea Turtle Season began on May 1st!Get your amber bulbs and black out curtains ready for Sea Turtle Nesting Season. Not all yellow and red bulbs are made equal - be sure to look for manufacturer specs that call out 560 nanometers (nm) or greater on the box. Black out curtains are best for windows to shield interior lighting, and if you’re under construction, please remind your contractor to turn off the lights at night and put up temporary curtains to block interior lights. FWC Wildlife Lighting Guidance: https://myfwc.com/conservation/you-conserve/lighting/criteria/certified/ Sea Turtle Conservation Resources: https://conserveturtles.org/program-activity/finding-wildlife-lighting/ Town Sea Turtle Codes & Info: www.fmbgov.com/seaturtle If you have questions, or want your property evaluated, please contact Chadd Chustz, Environmental Projects Manager, to schedule an appointment.
