Questions
What day can I water in North Fort Myers?
From February through May, Lee County limits unincorporated areas to one day a week: odd addresses on Saturday, even addresses on Sunday, with no watering from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Confirm the current schedule with Lee County or the SFWMD watering-days lookup before setting the timer.
Who handles flooding from the canal or roadside ditch?
Public drainage in unincorporated North Fort Myers is a Lee County matter, not the homeowner's, and FOX 4 has put Lochmoor residents' questions to the county's Natural Resources director. A contractor can fix grading on your own lot but cannot change public drainage.
My plants died after the storm surge. What should I replant with?
Near the river, pick species with good salt tolerance, such as sea grape, silver buttonwood, cocoplum, and saw palmetto. Rinse beds with fresh water if surge comes through again. Plants listed by UF/IFAS as salt-sensitive are better kept to the higher, inland side of the house.
