Lee County Utilities’ annual water quality report available
Lee County Utilities’ customers received water that met or exceeded all federal and state requirements last year, according to a recent report that has been placed online.
The 2015 Water Quality Report can be found at: www.leewaterquality.com.
The report, which also includes information such as source water assessments and service areas, is required annually by the Environmental Protection Agency.
To save ratepayers money, the annual water-quality report can be placed online instead of direct-mailing customers, according to federal regulations.
A printed copy can be obtained by contacting LCU Customer Service at 239-533-8845.
Summerlin landscaping project to begin
The Lee County Department of Transportation will replace 27 damaged or failing trees along Summerlin Road, between Boy Scout Drive and Colonial Boulevard, beginning today and plant about 50 additional trees.
The work will take about a month to complete and will result in periodic lane closures on the 1.2-mile stretch of road.
The project, which will complete landscaping of Summerlin in its entirety from the Sanibel Toll Facility north to Colonial, is being done during summer to take advantage of rainy season to help the new plantings.
The landscaping is being done in consultation with a landscape architect.
Groupings of royal palms, live oaks with flowering Hong Kong orchid trees and the Florida state palm, sabal palmetto, will be added to the roadway, blending in with the previously landscaped segment to the south.
