CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Since September 27th, the city of Cape Coral hired Tetra Tech Inc. to help the City in monitoring the debris removal due to Hurricane Ian.
Canal debris removal is expected to be complete by the end of April.
Crews have removed approximately 700,000 pounds of debris as of Wednesday, but the city of Cape Coral says there are still around 150,000 pounds of debris left in our area to be removed.
The city requested the estimated remaining costs from Tetra Tech Inc. in order to adjust the purchase order.
That would put the total purchase order over $6.5 million so far.
The city says there were 23 crews working on the canal clean-up project but with the progress over the past few months, there are now 5 crews finishing the work.
FEMA reimbursement for Hurricane Ian clean-up ends June 29, 2023.
