Mount Dora Advances Sewer Work and Gas Franchise
Mount Dora begins its sewer expansion Monday with trenching on Sixth Ave and Helen St as Cambron Co and Bumby Stimpson prepare multiple crews for the $815,000 project. City officials seek full‑time engineering oversight during peak work and pursue easements for a gravity line to save costs amid ongoing natural gas franchise approvals with Florida Gas Utilities, offering the city six percent of gross sales and an option to buy later.
