Board discusses $277,550 well estimate for irrigation; no action taken
Summary
The board reviewed McCullers Construction’s revised Estimate #8 to install a new irrigation well for $277,550 and discussed SFWMD irrigation restrictions and Lee County considerations; the item will be reconsidered at a future meeting and no vote occurred.
During the June 25 meeting, board members heard a presentation about a possible new well to support landscape irrigation. PSGRC General Manager Eric Long and staff discussed McCullers Construction Services & Consulting, LLC’s revised Estimate #8 to install a new well for $277,550 and noted South Florida Water Management District restrictions, local rainfall patterns and Lee County regulations affecting irrigation needs.
Board members asked questions about water restrictions and long‑term reductions in water usage; staff said the item would be reconsidered later and no formal action or vote was taken.
Why it matters: Installation of a new well carries capital cost and regulatory implications and could alter long‑term water use and operating expenses for district property. The board signaled interest but deferred any commitment.
What’s next: Staff will review the estimate alongside SFWMD restrictions and local regulatory considerations and bring the item back for future consideration.
