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. .

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.
