Water in Southwest Florida is a precious natural resource. With our population growing each year we must protect and preserve our fresh water. With that goal in mind, Spanish Wells has developed a lake and storm water management system, a residential dual water system, and adopted xeriscaping principles.

Spanish Well’s lakes are not only beautiful, they are functional. Spanish Well’s storm water management system has been permitted by the South Florida Water Management District to provide for flood control and to meet state water quality standards. Lake levels are designed to fluctuate throughout the year, as both the amount of rain and the ground water levels vary.
