Start, Stop or Transfer Lee County Utilities Water and Sewer Service

Start service

  • Complete the New Account Application.
  • Provide valid identification: driver’s license, state ID or passport.
  • Provide proof of ownership or lease/rental agreement.
  • Acceptable ownership documents include purchase/sale agreement, settlement statement or lot lease for mobile home communities.
  • Security deposit may be required.

Stop service

  • For permanent shutoff, complete the Termination of Service Request Form.
  • For temporary absence, LCU says utility accounts cannot be closed during temporary absences.
  • The owner of record remains responsible for monthly base charges on residential properties.
  • Hard disconnect turns off the meter and incurs a disconnection charge.
  • Reconnection charge applies when service is restored after hard disconnect.

Transfer service

  • Make sure the existing account balance is current.
  • Submit the Transfer Service Request Form.
  • Provide proof of ownership or rental agreement.
  • Provide a valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Use the online portal, mail, fax or email route listed by LCU.

Seasonal-resident tip: if you leave for an extended period, check whether smart meter consumption monitoring is enough instead of requesting a hard disconnect. A hard disconnect can add both disconnection and reconnection charges, while account base charges may continue during temporary absence.

Service Area: Where Lee County Utilities Does and Does Not Serve

LCU service area

Lee County Utilities provides water/wastewater service to unincorporated Lee County, Florida, within its franchise/service areas. Some properties may have water, sewer and reclaimed water from different providers.

Areas LCU says it does not serve

Cape Coral, City of Fort Myers within city limits, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, Sanibel/Captiva and Gateway use other utility routes. LCU lien-search guidance also warns requesters not to assume LCU service for several excluded areas.

Question
What to do
Why it matters
Does LCU serve my address?
Use Lee County’s Resident Information lookup tool or call 239-533-8845.
Mailing city, ZIP code and county name do not guarantee LCU service.
Is reclaimed water available?
Contact LCU’s Reclaimed Water Coordinator at 239-322-8053 or 239-533-8181.
Reclaimed water availability depends on infrastructure and resource capacity in the specific area.
Is this for a closing?
Submit an Account/Lien Search Request through the LCU online form.
LCU says requests are free and may take two business days, excluding weekends and holidays.
Is it new development?
Use the new installs, plan review or developer project route, depending on project type.
New development is separate from normal customer billing.

Deposits may be credited if the customer has 23 months of continuous service, no dishonored payment, no more than two late payments, no non-payment disconnect and no meter tampering.

Deposit topic
What LCU says
Practical action
Deposit interest
Deposits earn annual interest credited each September or at account closure, whichever comes first.
Ask how deposit and interest will appear on your final bill.
Previous LCU account waiver
Customer had service within last two years for 12 consecutive months, not disconnected for delinquent unpaid balance and no more than two late charges.
Ask billing to review past LCU account history before paying a deposit.
Reference letter waiver

Request the letter before opening the LCU account.
AutoPay/paperless waiver

Finish both enrollment steps quickly and save confirmation.
Later deposit billing

High Lee County Utilities Water Bill: Usage, Leaks, Surcharge and Irrigation

📈

Review billing and consumption

The portal profile helps monitor billing and consumption. Check current usage against prior months, payment history, late fees and the correct residential usage block.

🌴

Irrigation is a major driver

LCU’s conservation page says about 60% of Lee County potable water is used for irrigation, and dry-season demand rises with seasonal residents and irrigation needs.

🚽

Check hidden leaks

Toilets, irrigation valves, outdoor spigots, pool auto-fill, water softeners and service lines can create continuous usage that is not obvious inside the home.

High-bill check
What to do
Why it matters
Payment timing
Check whether the prior payment posted after the bill was generated.
An old balance can make the current bill look like a usage spike.
Usage block
Compare gallons to the 2026 single-family block ranges: 0-6,000; 6,001-12,000; 12,001-18,000; above 18,000.
Higher water blocks cost more per 1,000 gallons.
Wellfield conservation surcharge
Look for surcharge when residential usage exceeds the initial conservation block.
High use may create more than one extra cost.
Wastewater cap
Check whether metered wastewater billing capped at 10,000 gallons per unit.
Water and wastewater may not rise at the same rate after the cap.
Irrigation schedule
Compare irrigation controller days and run times against current year-round restrictions.
Dry-season irrigation can become the largest household water use.
Toilet and fixture leaks
Dye-test toilets and check faucets, showers and outdoor hose bibs.
Small continuous leaks can add thousands of gallons.
Pool / outdoor use
Check pool refill, pressure washing, vehicle washing and landscaping work.
Outdoor activity may explain a one-month jump.
Meter / read issue
Ask billing whether the read was actual, estimated, corrected or unusual.
Helps separate real use from billing/read problems.
High-bill script: “My Lee County Utilities bill increased from [normal usage/amount] to [new usage/amount]. I checked prior balance, payment posting, irrigation, toilets, outdoor spigots, pool use and the residential usage blocks. Can you review whether this is usage, an estimated/corrected read, wellfield surcharge, wastewater cap or possible leak issue?”
