LCU URGES CUSTOMERS TO USE CAUTION
Lee County Utilities (LCU) is aware of the confusion that is
caused by "spoofing".
Spoofing is a deceptive call or e-mail where the recipient is misled by a phony
caller ID or a fake sender e-mail address. Spoofing can be used for
pranks or as a scam for money. If you receive a suspicious call regarding
your service, especially at night or on a weekend, report it to LCU at
239-533-8845 during normal business hours. If you receive any
correspondence that a payment is due, online payments should only be made via our
Customer Self-Service Center or through
our Mobile App. If you are asked to make an
online payment in any other way, it is likely a scam that may result in late
fees or disconnection for non-payment. Customers can
make a telephonic payment at any time utilizing an automated IVR (Interactive
Voice Response) system by dialing 1-855-895-6939. LCU also allows for
customers to make payments by US Mail, in person or through our 24-hour payment
drop-box at 7391 College Parkway.
If you have any further questions, please check the LCU web site or call our Customer Service Center at
239-533-8845.

Seasonal CustomersPlease be aware of a recent change at Lee County Utilities. To ensure continuity of service for all customers, the utility is changing its practice to meet industry standards. Effective May 1, 2019, all seasonal residents requesting a temporary disconnection of service will have monthly base charges assessed for each service. Base charges cover the fixed expenses associated with the operations and maintenance costs for providing water and wastewater services.
