The City of Orlando asked residents to limit water usage after Hurricane Milton.
The city’s water reclamation system is working at capacity, according to local officials.
The City of Orlando said residents can prevent sewage overflows in your neighborhood and lakes:
- Avoid using dishwashers
- Refrain from doing laundry
- Flush toilets sparingly
- No trash in toilets: Keep wet wipes, hygiene products, and “flushable” wipes out of the toilet to prevent backups.
Orange County is also asking residents to reduce their impact on the wastewater system by reducing water usage when possible.
The City of Orlando also provides residents a hurricane guide for steps to take after a storm hits Central Florida.
