Why Stormwater Management Matters in 
Fort Myers

A grassy drainage area with scattered shrubs highlights stormwater management, featuring a culvert in the foreground, a dirt path, and a road with cars in the background under a clear sky.

In a city with sandy soils, low-lying coastal areas, and rapid development, mismanaged stormwater can lead to:

  • Flooding in urban areas like Downtown Fort Myers and the River District

  • Erosion and sedimentation in waterways such as Six Mile Creek and Estero Bay tributaries

  • Non-compliance with Lee County stormwater regulations and state-level mandates

Local regulations—including those enforced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)—require property owners to implement and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs). TIGRIS helps you meet and exceed these standards with ease.
