You need to contact the southwest florida water management district @ 1 800 836 0797 ext ***2 ask for either mr ralph kerr or danielle sailler ext 4355.
The project name is the fern spring project.
By email: info@watermatters.org

with all of the talk about water conversation, allowing a company to pump large amounts of water (with apparently little or no fees) to sell this as "spring water", appears to not be a good choice. Not sure what can be done, but phone calls and emails may be enough pressure to make sure this is actually in everyone's best interest.
any authorities who vote to allow the remove of our spring water should be kicked out of office. This is an outrage to even consider approving such a permit !!
