Fort Lauderdale - The City of Fort Lauderdale, in consultation with the Broward County Health Department, is advising the public of sewage contamination in the recreational waters in Seminole Lake. Residents who live on the following streets whose properties abut Seminole Lake should avoid swimming, fishing, jetskiing, or any water-related activities in the lake:

  • Southern side of N.E. 14th Street between Bayview Drive and the Intracoastal Waterway
  • Eastern side of Bayview Drive between N.E. 14th Street and N.E. 12th Street
  • Northern side of N.E. 12th Street between Bayview Drive and Seminole Drive
  • Northern or western side of Seminole Drive between N.E. 12th Street and N.E. 14th Street

The precautionary advisory is the result of a sewer line break that occurred and was isolated yesterday. City crews are currently making repairs.

This advisory will be in effect until further notice.
