The FGUA Lehigh Acres System is located inside Lee County, and situated 12 miles east of Fort Myers near I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport. The System was developed to serve the Lehigh Acres community but it is growing rapidly—with over 60 miles of new water main constructed in 2004 alone. The System covers about 60,000 acres of residential and light commercial property with over 12,200 water customers. Single-family residential homes, condominiums, apartments, patio homes, golf course villas, and estates make up most of the residential areas. The light commercial developments mostly serve these residents.
The Lehigh Acres System includes one water treatment plant, 13 water wells, and one wastewater treatment plant. In addition to the existing Lehigh facilities, the FGUA’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan outlines over $30 million in upgrades in the coming years.
New Lehigh Acres water treatment plant and wells. Construction began August ’06 at the Mirror Lakes site that includes three 180-ft deep raw water wells to yield 900 gal/min of raw water for treatment.
Permitting is also underway for a new deep injection well in the Lehigh service area. Contractors may be chosen in May.
Ft. Myers Interconnect.
Nearly 11,500 linear feet of pipeline will provide an on-demand, two-way connection between the FGUA system and the City of Ft. Myers water supply.
