Pool resurfacing in Lake Mary
Inside city limits, Lake Mary pools refill from six upper-Floridan wells and a city plant that treats with UV light, hydrogen peroxide and activated carbon. Many 32746 addresses, Heathrow included, sit outside city limits and permit through Seminole County instead.
Inside city limits, the water that refills a freshly finished pool comes from the City of Lake Mary’s own system: six groundwater wells in the upper Floridan Aquifer feeding a single treatment plant. That plant goes further than most in the area, using ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide (advanced oxidation) and granular activated carbon before chlorination. The city also keeps emergency interconnections with Seminole County and Sanford, so during an outage the water in the lines can come from a neighboring system instead.
Lake Mary runs its own Building Division, enforcing the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code through an online permit portal. The city publishes a short list of building work it does not permit, covering painting, cabinets, floor covering, gutters and similar items. Pool resurfacing and pool tile are not on that list, so ask the Building Division before a start date is set rather than assuming the job is exempt.
Many homes with a Lake Mary mailing address are not in the city at all. Heathrow, the gated community of about 2,200 homes that Jeno Paulucci started in 1985, is an unincorporated census-designated place that shares the 32746 ZIP. Work there goes through Seminole County’s Building Division, whose own guidance names “repair, resurface or replace swimming pool” as work that does require a permit. A gated community also means a crew needs its gate access arranged before the first day.
Lake Mary did not incorporate until August 1973, and it was still a citrus-and-railroad settlement of two small stops, Bent’s Station and Belle Fontaine, before that. The population went from 2,853 in 1980 to 11,458 in 2000, then 16,798 by 2020, as the I-4 corridor filled with offices for AAA, Deloitte, Liberty Mutual and others. Much of the housing, and the backyard pools behind it, went up during that climb. On a pool of that generation, the waterline band and the edge stones often need attention at the same visit as a replaster, which is where replacing the tile line and new coping come in. The city covers just under ten square miles, about 0.8 of it water, between I-4, Lake Mary Boulevard, Rinehart Road and the SunRail station at Country Club Road.
Lake Mary borders Sanford to the northeast. South along I-4 is Altamonte Springs, and across the county to the southeast is Oviedo.
