Mount Dora Electric Rates and Sewer Notices: What to Know

What Happened: Mount Dora’s September 15 council packet included a proposed adjustment to the electric base rate and power-cost charge. A separate staff update described planned notices for some properties that may be required to connect to central sewer. The packet does not, by itself, confirm the final council vote on electric rates. Who It Affects: City electric customers may be affected by an adopted rate change. Sewer requirements depend on the individual property: staff identified about 90 septic properties west of Old US 441 for notices expected near the end of September. A staff estimate of about $20,000 for one conversion is not a standard charge to every homeowner. What’s Next: Property owners should read any written notice and obtain an itemized estimate and their own deadline. LCN will verify the council’s final rate action and the property-specific sewer schedule. LCN report: https://www.lakecountynow.com/news/mount-dora-sewer-connection-plans-utility-costs-2026
