CAPE UEP UPDATE-PLASMA-SS-DISSOLVE LIVE


AND NOW TO THE THREE LETTERS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CAPE CORAL don't LIKE TO HEAR.

U-E-P. UTITLITES EXPANSION PROJECT.

COUNCIL SAYS NOW'S THE TIME.

THE PROJECT HAS BEEN ON THE TABLE SINCE 2008

AND WOULD BRING WATER AND SEWER SERVICES TO THIS AREA IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE CITY.

N-B-C'S TWO'S STEVE CAMPION DID SOME DIGGING AND FOUND OUT THE LATEST ESTIMATES WOULD COST RESIDENTS THOUSANDS. Return to index of stories...


CAPE UEP UPDATE-REM-LIVE


Ballpark estimates put this expansion around 20 grand -- which is what if you're living in this part of town near trafalgar and Chiquita will be forced to shell out.

This is what it all Comes down to -- those living here use wells like this one to pump water from the ground for their everyday use.

There is no city water or sewers.

And some tell us tonight, they want these wells to stay put. Return to index of stories...


CAPE UEP UPDATE-PKG-BNR


Take pkg

The push is on tonight to restart Cape coral's most controversial project -- the UEP ultities expansion project.

Take nats

Joe Ennis shows us -- the current well system which pumps water throughout his home in southwest 6/7.

Joe Ennis, lives in southwest 6/7

5751: "Steve: can people afford this? No. Everybody says they can't afford it and will walk away from their properties."

With the UEP's huge cost , Ennis and others like Steve Anderson worry it will drive their neighbors away.

Steve Anderson, lives in southwest 6/7

0350 "it could change the personality and tax revenue of the neighborhood and force some people out."

When the UEP is implemented, those living along this streets will no longer need their well pumps or septic tanks -- theyre be hooked into cape coral's pipes.

If paid up front, the price tag for the UEP is under 20grand. If spread over 20 years, people could pay over 30,000 dollars.

Rana Erbrick, cape council member

3855 "it is money. It always come down to money. In all honesty, there is never a good time to do this for anyone."

Cape Councilmember rana Erbrick tells us -- it's vital for the city's future -- for the UEP to succeed.

Erbrick 3756 "we've got folks that need, want, and should have sanitary drinking water and sewer system."

Take nats

But for some they argue -- hold off --

Ennis, 0116 "Steve: not the right time? No, not even a little bit."

And wait the city to wait on installing new water lines -- until the economy fully rebounds.

Steve Anderson, resident

0438 "I'd be happy to live this forever. I don't like the smell of the pump, what it does to laundry but we're accustomed to it." Return to index of stories...


CAPE UEP UPDATE-REM-LIVE


Now this is what water -- from these pumps look like after it goes through a water softener and reverse osmosis you don't get a sulfate smell which is why some here say leave them alone.

But City leaders at planning to hire an UEP supervisor and hope to get shovels in the ground by the end of next year. Return to index of stories...

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL


THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

HOT CONDITIONS TO END THE WEEK

We're closing the work week on a warming trend.

Sitting over the Bahamas is an area of high pressure, and it is inching westward toward Florida. The closer we get to the center of this high, the hotter and drier it'll become. Rain chances are only around 10 to 20 percent, so the chances of seeing a rain… Slim to none.

Hot, hazy, and humid conditions are on the docket for Southwest Florida Friday, and rain chances, again, are at a minimum. A stray afternoon/evening shower is possible across the inland communities along the sea breeze. Otherwise the vast majority of us, west of I-75, will stay dry.

All your beach plans should be fine for Friday!

Temperatures will be in the mid 90s for the majority of this week and the following week with heat index values in the 105° range. So please stay safe, heat is the number one killer in the weather world. Wear light clothes, drink a lot of water, get in the shade, and take breaks if you are outside.

Moisture will return for the weekend, bringing our typical rainy season pattern back with dry mornings and afternoon storms. The southwest Florida "norm" will continue until Wednesday when dry and hot weather make a comeback.

The tropics continue to stay quiet! Return to index of stories...
