Officials say rain, pipe blockage led to flooding in Orange County neighborhood

ORLANDO — As heavy rounds of rain fell on much of Central Florida, one Orange County neighborhood was weary after 4-6 inches of rain flooded out roads in the Goldenrod area Wednesday night.

Orange County officials say they’ve been diligently working to get their stormwater system working the way it should

Over the weekend storms dumped several inches of rain in Orlando leading to similar flooding

Orange County officials say a repeat of the problem can happen if it rains again, given that they’re still working to fix the issue, and water flow is still compromised.

The city of Orlando says as a matter of prevention, public works crews regularly lower lake levels in anticipation of heavy rainfall, as well as taking erosion control measures.
