STEVE KOFFMAN’S CLIENT UTILITY CONCIERGE

Cape Coral & Fort Myers utilities by address

Map a property, identify the likely electric, water and sewer providers, and create a client-ready service report.

Verify before relying: Map boundaries and public records can be incomplete or outdated. Confirm provider, serviceability, deposits, fees, meter status, balances, assessments and activation timing directly with the provider before closing or occupancy.

As of September 14, 2026, the South Florida Water Management District still lists Modified Phase II restrictions for designated northeast Cape Coral properties irrigating from private Mid-Hawthorn Aquifer wells. The restriction does not apply to irrigation using City potable or reclaimed water. Check the official address map and current order before watering.
