|
| | | | | | | | | | D) | Analysis | | | | Lee County Utilities is currently expanding the North Lee County Water Treatment Plant and associated wellfield. Additional wells are warranted to support the current raw water capacity of the Plant and to facilitate its expansion to 15 million gallons (MG). The expansion of those facilities is necessary to meet the future potable water demands of the North Lee County Service Area.
The acquisition of Parcel 120 (+/- 40 acres) will provide land adjacent to the County’s Durrance Road Water Treatment Plant for the construction of raw water production wells, future accessory uses, and also maintains a buffer from neighboring use and development.
