BACKGROUND:

Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) has a lift station located on a County-owned parcel (12-2S-31-2000-004-004) located in Carracres West Unit Two. The parcel was dedicated to the County in the Carracres West Unit Two plat. ECUA has an existing sewer main and lift station located on the parcel, without any recorded Easements.
