Warning signs placed around Lake Mann to inform visitors about the safety alert.
Orlando has issued a Lake Alert for Lake Mann after a sewage overflow incident. Residents are advised to avoid water contact while safety measures are implemented. City crews have responded by clearing blockages and are monitoring water quality. Updates can be obtained via the Lake Alert Hotline or the city’s website.
In a rather unexpected turn of events, the city of Orlando has issued a Lake Alert for Lake Mann following a sanitary sewer overflow incident that occurred on March 25, 2025. Residents and visitors alike are now advised to avoid all water contact activities in the lake until further notice.
The incident took place at the address of 3206 Orange Center Blvd, where approximately 100 gallons of untreated sewage made its way into the stormwater system. The cause? A pesky blockage in the public sanitary line that required immediate attention.
City crews jumped into action, promptly clearing the blockage and removing around 300 gallons of stormwater and sewage from the system. While it sounds like a lot of work, it’s all part of the city’s commitment to keeping the waterways clean and safe for everyone.
To make sure everyone stays safe, residents are strongly advised to temporarily cease any activities involving water contact with Lake Mann. This includes irrigation, so those with green thumbs may need to rethink their plans. City personnel will also be placing warning signs around the lake to keep everyone informed and safe.
But that’s not all! The city is taking this issue seriously and will conduct routine water sampling to keep an eye on E. coli levels in the lake. The Lake Alert will stay in effect until these levels meet the acceptable State Water Quality Standards. It’s all about keeping our community safe and sound!
For those eager to stay in the loop, updates about the alert will be made available through the Lake Alert Hotline at 407-246-2220 and the City’s Lake Alert website. It’s essential for residents and visitors to keep checking back for the latest information.
As you can imagine, news of the Lake Alert has left many feeling disappointed. Longtime visitor Jake Canty, who sees Lake Mann as his little slice of paradise, had planned to put his boat in the water but found the alert concerning. It’s always tough to hear when your favorite spot hit a snag, isn’t it?
Then there’s William White and his family. They arrived at Lake Mann with plans to barbecue and fish, only to discover the alert had put a damper on their day. While clearly surprised by the sewage spill, White expressed support for the city’s caution, emphasizing just how important it is to maintain the environment’s cleanliness.
For all those who regularly enjoy the beauty of Lake Mann and its surrounding areas, keeping an eye on the City of Orlando’s website or the Lake Alert Hotline is a smart move. Let’s collectively keep our waterways clean and safe for everyone in the community!
With cooperation from residents and visitors, we can help ensure that Lake Mann remains a cherished location for serenity and fun for years to come!
