North Fort Myers
AREA SERVED
The North Fort Myers Utility (NFMU) system is located in Lee County between New Post and Bayshore roads. It is the ninth in the FGUA family of utility systems located in Lee, Collier and Pasco counties.
The service area consists of residential properties with some light commercial developments that serve the local residents. Many of the residential properties are modular homes, with approximately one-half of the residents living in the area on a seasonal basis.
NFMU’s owners originally sought more than $100 million for the system. The FGUA purchased the system for $55 million. The deal also included an agreement that if the system grows, half of the connection charges – up to an additional $25 million – collected from future customers would be paid to the prior owner.
SERVICES PROVIDED
- Water/Wastewater
Both water and sewer service are available from the FGUA in a limited area, mostly in the Pine Lakes and Lake Fairways communities, which are served by one water treatment plant and two associated wells. One sewer plant services all NFMU customers. The wastewater plant will undergo an expansion to receive wastewater from Lee County Utilities when it decommissions its local wastewater treatment plant.
The county is working with the FGUA to install a force main as part of that project.
Those customers who only receive sewer service from the FGUA receive their water service from Lee County Utilities, or private water companies. These utilities provide the water usage to the FGUA to calculate the sewer usage for the monthly statements.
The FGUA is proposing projects to improve service to NFMU customers and plans to expand customer involvement in decision-making.
NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS
North Fort Myers serves nearly 12,000 customers with wastewater service, 2,000 of which also utilize water services.
