FORT MYERS, Fla. - In order to protect and conserve crucial groundwater resources in aquifers for residents during the remainder of the dry season, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Lee County announced mandatory irrigation restrictions today. These restrictions are to address low aquifer levels that can lead to homeowner water wells becoming inoperable if left unchecked.
The new irrigation restrictions apply in all parts of Lee County and go into effect starting tomorrow, April 25.
-
Irrigation is only allowed on Sunday for even-numbered addresses and Wednesday for odd-numbered addresses based on the last number of the address.

All landscape irrigation is prohibited between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to reduce evaporation.

NOTICE TO LEE COUNTY UTILITIES CUSTOMERS
Lee County Utilities will be temporarily converting its disinfectant process from chloramines to free chlorine residual from June 1 through June 21, 2020.
This is a routine measure that is typical 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. Please feel free to contact our office during regular business hours, 8am to 4:30pm at 239-533-8845, if you have any questions. |
