SWFL.io - Local NewsThe Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) has announced a planned water service shutdown for residents of the Town Lakes Community in Lehigh Acres on February 25, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The shutdown will affect homes on Allamanda Court, Bass Lake Court, Beauty Berry Court, Blue Daze Court, Fountain Mist Boulevard, Gassner Way, Gopher Tortoise Trail, Horizon View Boulevard, Liriope Loop, Pine Nut Court, Penta Court, Plumbago Court, Star Jasmine Court, Tortoise Isle Court, Village Lakes Boulevard, and White Dover Court.
