Apopka council authorizes attorney to negotiate easement with Lumen for temporary pump station to address lake flooding
Summary
The council gave city counsel authority to negotiate indemnity and final terms for a temporary access and construction easement with Lumen (CenturyLink) that would allow a pump station to lower Border Lake water levels; members discussed the draft agreement’s 365‑day term, $500 consideration and indemnity language.
The Apopka City Council on June 4 authorized the city attorney’s office to negotiate and finalize a temporary access, construction and easement agreement with Lumen (CenturyLink) that would allow the city to place a temporary pump station on Lumen property to relieve high water in local lakes, including Border Lake.
Mayor and staff described the agreement as the final piece of a multi‑partner plan intended to reduce flooding in an at‑risk neighborhood; the pump would move excess water south toward Lake Jackson and downstream systems. City staff said they had secured agreements from homeowners whose properties would be accessed and that Orange County was prepared to process permits once property‑owner approvals were in place.
