The Three Oaks Water Reclamation Facility is currently undergoing an expansion to increase its capacity. Until the expansion is complete, reuse water will not be available. Instead, Lee County Utilities (LCU) will be using groundwater to supply water to reuse water distribution customers. This started in June 2023 and will continue until June 2024.
Due to regulatory requirements and operational constraints, there is the potential for system supply shortages during periods of peak demand.
LCU encourages everybody to assess their irrigation practices to optimize water utilization, check your irrigation system to correct possible water losses, and if possible, make plans for other alternatives to satisfy your irrigation demands, especially during the dry season.
