The City of Cape Coral voted unanimously to provide $25 million in funding for the Utilities Extension Project. During its weekly city council meeting, Cape Coral council members agreed to grant funding as it will provide city water, sewer, and irrigation services to more areas. According to the City of Cape Coral, the city’s potable water system draws its groundwater supply from deep wells in the Lower Hawthorn Aquifer, where it is treated and pumped into a distribution center. The city also listed additional benefits below: Customers will receive a dependable supply of high-quality, good tasting drinking water. Public Safety – Installation of fire hydrants in the area will provide a fire-flow system with a reliable water supply and pressure. Water conservation for irrigation – The City operates an irrigation water system that provides a separate source of treated, reclaimed water for irrigation. This decreases the use of potable (drinking) water for irrigation, which conserves the drinking water. It also eliminates the need to discharge treated wastewater. Enhanced property values – Properties connected to a centralized water and sewer system will have an increased value over those with wells and septic systems. Economic growth – This will improve the quality of life for all Cape Coral citizens. The financial relief will not be available immediately; however, the city is in the process of another $25 million grant for future development of the UEP.
