Swiftmud Events Coming Up

The Southwest Florida Water Management District has scheduled a couple of events of local interest.

The monthly Governing Board meeting will be held Tuesday, June 27, at 9 a.m. at its Brooksville headquarters.

Items of local interest include a consent order with Conhagen Properties in the Mulberry industrial park for permit violations and approval of an easement to allow for the construction of a new boat ramp on Saddle Creek to allow boat access to Lake Hancock.

The Polk County Commission approved the agreement Tuesday (June 20).

Polk County officials expect to have the boat ramp completed by early next year.

On July 12, Swiftmud officials will hold a public meeting at Lake Wales City Hall from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to receive comments on a proposal to set levels on Lake Easy.
