On hole #5 there is a water main (Sarasota County Public Utility) that comes across from Eagle Watch Lane over to MacEwen Road. Because the pipe is only 3 feet below the existing elevation, a set of engineering drawings will be submitted to Sarasota County to lower the elevation of the pipe by 8 - 10 feet. Once Sarasota County approves the permit, a certified utility contractor will complete the project. Once a start date has been set, any homeowner that might be inconvenienced will be promptly notified several days in advance. Please see the below map which depicts the water main (WM) running across the golf hole.
