Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

Lee County is planning to acquire utility and temporary easements for the Billy Creek Septic Conversion Project. This project involves purchasing a perpetual utility easement of approximately 49,004 square feet and a temporary easement at 8741 Ortiz Circle. The purpose is to install a sewer line and residential connections as part of the Lee County Septic Conversion Project, which aims to reduce nutrient loading and improve water quality in the Billy Creek & Orange River Impaired Water Area. The project is currently in the design phase. This acquisition will lead to site work, including the installation of sewer lines and utility connections. Contractors specializing in utility work, site preparation, and potentially concrete and paving for connections could find opportunities. Reaching out to Lee County early in the design phase may provide insight into upcoming bid opportunities before final plans and permits are established.
