County asks utility to halt expansion

Commissioners want to buy system

Utility officials are proposing a $56,335,000 expansion project in Lehigh Acres, including lines to 4,100 more lots, more capacity at the sewage treatment plant and a new water treatment plant.


But Lee County Commissioners are asking the Florida Governmental Utility Authority to hold off on those plans to give the county time to purchase the system and make its own expansion plans.

County Commissioner John Albion

said he hopes the county can purchase Lehigh's utility system before the improvement projects get under way.
