University Estates, along with much of Central Florida, is in a moderate to low risk of flooding. In general, buildings in these zones could be flooded by severe, concentrated rainfall coupled with inadequate local drainage systems. Most drainage systems in unicorporated Orange County are maintained by the Orange County Roads and Drainage Division. You can call them at 836-3111 for questions and assistance on maintenance related drainage problems.

More information can be found at the following government websites:
