June 1, 2022
UPDATED Information- A Lake Alert for Lake Silver was issued on January 31, 2022, due to a potentially unsafe concentration of toxins present in the lake. City of Orlando Stormwater staff have been continuously monitoring Lake Silver since the Lake Alert was issued. This message is to provide an update on the status of the lake.
The results from the latest sampling event performed by City of Orlando staff on May 31, 2022, indicate there are no toxins present in the lake at this time. However, out of a preponderance of caution, the City is electing to keep the Lake Alert in effect until city staff performs two (2) additional sampling events to ensure the bloom subsides and the lake does not produce additional toxins. Lake Silver will continue to be closely monitored by City of Orlando staff, and the lake will be resampled throughout the month of June, after each sampling event, we will provide another update. At this time, the Lake Alert remains in effect until further notice.
