• In 2018 the Roads and Drainage committee completed the 5-year plan to remediate all of the drainage swales in the community. 

​​

• The Roads and Drainage committee continues to inspect and repair of swales. To date, drains have been cleaned out, which is scheduled regularly;  started a rear swales project in the dry season, and inspected the lake culverts in the north drainage basin.

​

• In 2021 the SWM Committee worked to assist the Lee County Division of Natural Resources to install MEDALLIONS on our storm drains to help make our residents and vendors more aware of the fact that everything that goes in our Storm Water Drains eventually ends up in Matlacha Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. These aluminum storm drain markers caution passersby that any litter and chemicals will wind up untreated and taint a natural body of water.

• Residents are asked to fill out the Lake Shoreline Review Request Form and gain preapproval from the ARB if they would like to complete any drainage or erosion control activities themselves.
