Collier County Public Utilities crews began working to restore services and ensure the safety and well-being of the community. Water and wastewater teams entered the field, assessing conditions and making necessary repairs. The loss of electrical power has affected some wastewater pump stations, county officials said. Generators and other assets are being deployed to critical locations. Officials urged customers to minimize water use during this critical period. “We appreciate the community’s cooperation and patience as our crews work to restore services,” Wastewater Director Robert VonHolle said. “Conserving water during this time will greatly aid our restoration efforts.”
