UPDATE: Environmental Advisory EXTENDED for Lake Sue

OCAlert logo

August 1, 2022: Recent lab results from follow-up samples collected by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection from Lake Sue were determined to have potentially unsafe concentrations of toxins present.

As a result, Lake Sue will be closely monitored by the City of Orlando, FDEP, Orange County and the City of Winter Park.

The FDEP will collect samples for analysis at a future date (possibly 4-6 weeks) determined by the FDEP for Lake Sue and will provide updates on any possible detection of algae toxins as reported on the FDEP Algal Bloom Reporting dashboard (https://floridadep.gov/AlgalBloom).

Please continue to refrain from irrigating and recreating on the lake, including swimming, fishing and boating until further notice.
