As part of the work for the Terminal Expansion Project Phase 1 at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), the main water line to the terminal will be shut off after midnight on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, for approximately four hours. There will be no water in the terminal or concourses and terminal restrooms will be closed. During this time, airport patrons can use the Rental Car facility restrooms, which will not be impacted.
Once water is restored early Monday morning, Sept. 8, there will be a boil water notice in place at RSW for the terminal and concourses. During this time, there will be no drinking/potable water available including restroom sinks, water refill stations or drinking fountains. However, terminal restrooms will be open and functional with hand sanitizers at all locations. The boil water notice will be in place until testing is completed and the Florida Department of Health authorizes normal consumption/use. We expect the boil water period to last no more than 48 hours.
The Lee County Port Authority will continue to post updates on the airport’s website and Facebook to help travelers and airport users become aware of changes due to construction. We appreciate your understanding as we increase capacity, airport efficiency and provide passengers with more amenities and options at Southwest Florida International Airport.
