Winter Garden water damage: east Winter Garden's drainage ditches and canals
A drainage system built on open ditches
The Winter Garden Vox reported in October 2022 that east Winter Garden neighborhoods drain through open ditches cut into swales where sidewalks would normally be, and that residents had complained about standing water for decades. Orange County still manages the storm water system there. After Winter Garden annexed the last enclave, the county agreed to pay to reconfigure the system, and current plans call for replacing the open ditches with closed concrete inlets and pipes.
Ian was gentler than expected, but the area has flooded before
During Hurricane Ian the canal along Dunbar Street overflowed its banks and several small lakes and boggy yards formed, but flooding was lower than residents had expected. City engineer Jim Monahan and a Central Florida Expressway Authority spokesperson tied that to a retention pond on Story Road that had been drained earlier for State Road 429 widening; it shares a discharge ditch with the E. Bay Street area. One E. Bay Street resident told the Vox her home completely flooded in Hurricane Irma in 2017.
The lesson is that how much water a Winter Garden street takes can depend on the state of a pond or ditch that is out of sight. If water got into your home, record the date and photograph the waterline, then ask your insurer in writing how the loss is classified, because Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation has said a basic homeowners policy does not cover flooding.
After standing water: mold and contamination
Water from a ditch, canal or storm drain is treated as Category 3 (grossly contaminated) in the IICRC S500 standard, so wet drywall, insulation and carpet generally need to be removed. The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold. Look up your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
