Windermere water damage: the Butler Chain of Lakes at high water
Lakes already at a historic high before Ian
The West Orange Times & Observer reported on October 5, 2022 that Windermere's lakes were already at a historic high before Hurricane Ian, and that the storm's rain made it worse. Police Chief David Ogden said water levels were extremely high, docks were still underwater and wakes from boats were causing more damage. The town worked with Orange County on no-wake restrictions for Lake Butler and Wauseon Bay, Lake Down, Lake Crescent and Lake Bessie, and public boat ramps in the county and the town were closed.
High water came back in September 2024, when Orange County closed four public ramps on the chain (R.D. Keene, Lake Down, Fern Creek and Randolph Street) after recent storms. They were to stay closed until levels fell to 9 inches above the Normal High Water Elevation.
Rising lake water and boat wakes are two different kinds of damage
For lakefront owners, a high-water event can damage a dock, seawall, landscaping or lower floor by rising water, and wakes can add to it. Photograph the waterline at its highest, record the date and the lake level if the town or county posts one, and photograph shoreline and dock damage separately. Ask your insurer in writing how it treats each, because Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation has said a basic homeowners policy does not cover flooding, and flood coverage is a separate policy.
Lake water that enters a house is treated as Category 3 (grossly contaminated) in the IICRC S500 standard, so wet drywall, insulation and flooring generally need to be removed. The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold. Check a property's mapped flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and remember that National Flood Insurance Program policies typically carry a 30-day waiting period.
