Great news for everyone on the north side of the marina. FPL has energized the transformers yesterday and Current Connections has tested all the new pedestals. We have power now at all the slips. Landscape trees have been installed and shrubs are going in next week. The following week the base will be installed and then the artificial turf will be going in after that.

Dear Cypress Island Slip Owners,

I have an update from the FPL Supervisor on opening accounts with FPL for power. Please do not call to reopen or open accounts. In a previous email, FPL advised me to have everyone call to reopen or open a new account so that FPL would send a meter once we passed our final inspection. I was recently notified by an FPL supervisor that at the end of our project, when we get a final inspection from FPL, a service person will come out to handle the account situation. Some of the accounts from the past are no longer under the Palmwood address. The service personnel will recreate the addresses. If I get further instructions, I will notify everyone.  We are going to let FPL handle the accounts for now until I receive any other further instruction. We are still waiting for FPL to help expedite our inspections and service us. We have had two storms that put Florida in a state of emergency in the past couple of months. FPL has had to send their crews to disaster areas to restore power. I thank you all in advance for your patience. We do not have a definitive date on when Power will be restored, we are waiting on FPL. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in these matters. If you have any questions call or email the office. Thanks again and Have a Great Day! Cindy

Cypress Island Owners,

​​

​

It has come to the Board’s attention that the letter sent September 16, 2024, stated the marina construction on the South side would not be started until May 2025. That is not the case.

Construction must continue through the winter season due to bank financing, contractor availability and Florida Power & Light’s scheduling. Construction on the South side will start in December 2024.

​​

​

Construction on the North side is proceeding ahead of schedule and we hope to have the remaining sections of concrete poured within the next week. All the underground work is completed, and the retaining wall is 50% complete. Power is scheduled to be restored to the North side in November.

​​

​

As mentioned above, South side construction will start in December 2024. Based on the timeline of the North side construction it is estimated that South side slips will be without power for 2-3 months. If you need power for your vessel there will be slips available for rental on the North side. Please contact the marina office for availability.

​

 

We would like to thank everyone for working together to get this beautiful project completed. We are excited that the aesthetics, safety, and ease of access will be something everyone will be proud of. If you haven’t seen the construction progress in person, please visit the website below.

 

 

The Board will send updates on timelines and completion of milestones as they become available.

8/28/2024 - ***REMINDER***

Please turn off POWER & CABLE at your Slip

This Email is a friendly Reminder to Please Turn Off/ Disconnect your FPL Account and Your COMCAST Cable/Internet.

Please ask FPL for a Disconnect / Take Back on service Meter.
You can reach FPL with this provided number 1.800.226.3545.

  FPL and Comcast will not be liable for any charges incurred by YOU!

For Tenants in your slip please have them disconnect/turn off FPL and Comcast Cable/Internet.

  We appreciate your attention to this matter and appreciate everyone's patience during this time of Upgrade.

If you have questions please contact the office. Best Regards.

​

6/8/24 - NOTICE:  We are ready to start on the marina anytime. FPL is aware and putting us on their schedule. We can shut down electric locally (at the disconnect) enough to do most of the work so SMC is scheduled to begin saw cutting and demo of asphalt and curbing Monday 6/10. Current Connections will be there also to begin removing electric from pedestals and switchgear. 

​

6/1/24 - Phase one: The electrician is meeting with FPL to determine when they can turn off the power to the service panels. The first section will be the Northeast service Panel B which feeds slips 16-21. The hopes are to start this work next week.  We will work with the electrician to determine if and how we can set up temporary power for the affected slips and will let you know what we determine.  Basically, we will be terminating power to the dock pedestals for six slips - 16-21 and will then begin removal of the switchgear and wiring those feeds those slips. Then we will start the pavement and site work demolition as needed to expose the area for the new electrical conduits, retaining wall, steps, and sidewalk.
