Retrofit/reconstruction of stormwater infrastructure within the Big Cypress Golf & Country Club/Country Club of Naples to enhance drainage, flood resiliency, and community safety. While construction will primarily take place in county right-of-way areas and drainage easements, this work will bring significant benefits to your neighborhood.

Phase 1 of the project will entail installing two electric-powered stormwater pumping stations. The improvements are intended to relieve the drainage, flooding and standing water issues experienced by the community, to be maintained by the county.

Phase 2 of this project will consist of drainage improvements and water main upgrade within the neighborhood of Big Cypress Golf & Country Club Estates.

Project Highlights

• North Pump Station Replacement: The existing North Pump Station will be upgraded, and a new South Pump Station will be installed to increase flood resilience.
• Improved Drainage: Swales will be regraded, and driveway culverts will be replaced to boost stormwater capacity.
• Water Main Upgrade: Homes will be reconnected to a new, modernized water main system.
• Enhanced Fire Safety: New fire hydrants will meet updated spacing standards for better protection.
• Minimal Sewer Impact: Sanitary sewer systems will remain largely unaffected, with only minor adjustments as needed.

Construction Impacts

• Vegetation Removal: Vegetation in the county right-of-way and easements will be removed. Property owners may save plants from these areas before Fall 2025.
• Driveway Restoration: Driveways will be rebuilt to match their original appearance following construction.
• Mailbox Installation: Temporary mailboxes will be provided during construction, with permanent replacements upon completion.
• Resodding: all disturbed areas will be resodded to match existing lawn conditions.

• As the project progresses, Collier County will continue to update this informational website to keep residents updated on timelines, activities, and impacts.
