Water Line Update

By -
A brief update on the Water Lines. The County asked 68 residents of Lake Sarasota last year if they would accept water lines to County water. The homes are along Jarvis and Lago. We checked on the status of the project:

According to Linda Larsen of the county, the engineering was submitted for approval on June 28th, and there are a few projects in the queue ahead of it. The bids might come in August, with work beginning in November and looking for completion in March 2008.

This is pushed back from an initial estimated July beginning for the work, which was then pushed to September.

Hi..I wanted to see if I could hopefully have a post made about my family's lost dog. She is a chocolate lab / pitt mix. Her name is Chloe. She has been missing since Wed., July 18th after 5:30 P.M. If anyone has seen her please let me know, and we will give a reward. She is a very sweet dog, and she won't go up to anyone as she is scared of most people. She does love other dogs though. Even if you saw her run by, please let me know. Thank you for any help! She has been in our family for 6 years. We love & miss her very much!!!

Jessica, I'll put this in a separate post in hopes greater visibility will help. I also recommend, if you've not done so already, placing a notice at the Paws Park on Hand Rd. People who go to the park are very good about noticing wandering dogs. If you have a picture of Chloe, we can post it - send it to lakesarasota@gmail.com - Good luck!

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution. "When a moccasin is nesting or has her young in their nest it will aggressively defend that area," says Ray. "Moccasins have aggressively attacked people." Water Snakes tend to be partly submerged, partly out of the water, more like this: Click f...
