4. Parity with the Harris Chain: We demand that Lake Okahumpka be treated with the same environmental

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

A group called Save Our Lake Okahumpka is petitioning officials to take action to prevent the ecological and recreational collapse of Lake Okahumpka. The group states the lake is currently unnavigable due to invasive vegetation and floating plant matter, which is reducing water quality and depth. They are demanding that state and local agencies form a task force to address these issues. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If action is taken, it could involve site clearing and grading to remove invasive vegetation, potential dredging or muck removal, and possibly infrastructure improvements to restore navigability and water quality. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the process before specific plans or permits are finalized.
