New Englewood Water District will have 1,100+ customers

ENGLEWOOD — The Englewood Water District can be a harbinger for what growth lies on the horizon.

Various developers in various stages of development are preparing to build 1,120 residential units within the water district service area in the near future.

The water district’s 44.5 square-mile service area includes all of Manasota Key, Colonial Road and Manasota Beach Road south to Buck Creek, east to Winchester Boulevard and West Villages in North Port.

Both Sarasota and Charlotte counties require developers within the water district to reserve water and sewer capacity before plans can move through the pipeline.
