Two grant agreements with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the Sun Village and Lake of San Souci neighborhoods septic replacement project
On June 16, 2021, City Council directed staff to coordinate with Bonita Springs Utilities (BSU) to submit a grant application for potential septic to sewer projects. On November 10, 2021, the City received a notice of award from FDEP for two neighborhoods: Sun Village was awarded $2,050,000 and Lake of San Souci was awarded $950,000. The grant requires a 1:1 match with the City and BSU each committing to fund the required $3,000,000 ($1,500,000 from the City and $1,500,000 from BSU).
To implement the City’s grant award with FDEP, the City must enter into an agreement with the Bonita Springs Utilities as they are the entity responsible for water and wastewater services.
This item is a companion request to Green Sheet 23-02-021 requesting approval of the Septic Replacement and Groundwater Protection Agreement with BSU.
