CITY OF ORLANDO - LAKE ALERT for Lake Mann
To address citizen concerns related to water quality, the City of Orlando's Streets and Stormwater Division has developed a Lake Alert public information system to provide seasonal and localized warnings for City of Orlando lakes. An announcement has been provided below regarding the lake(s) where water quality has been a concern.
The City of Orlando is issuing a Lake Alert for Lake Mann due to a sanitary sewer overflow.
Location: 3206 Orange Center Boulevard
On March 25, 2025, 100 gallons of sewage entered the stormwater system due to a blockage in the public sanitary line. The City of Orlando cleared the blockage and removed 300 gallons of stormwater and sewage from the stormwater system.
The City of Orlando advises that water contact activities, including irrigation, associated with Lake Mann cease until further notice.
City personnel will place warning signs around the lake and begin collecting water samples on a routine basis to test the E. coli counts. Once E. coli counts meet acceptable State Water Quality Standards, we will remove the warning and share this update on our Lake Alert Hotline number (407.246.2220) and our Lake Alert website.
Please continue to check our website or call the Lake Alert Hotline for the most up-to-date information regarding your lake. Learn more about sewage overflows here.
