Wind Harbor
Neighborhood water quality report
Wind Harbor homes rely on private Floridan Aquifer wells with no chlorine residual; iron and sulfur odor are the most common complaints, and softener use is widespread. Older casings (built 1990s) can also introduce sediment after heavy rain.
This area draws from private wells. No utility treats it, no agency tests it, and there is no Consumer Confidence Report for your address — the only reading that exists here is one you go get.

Public water system
Who actually supplies Wind Harbor's water.
Drinking water isn't tested or regulated by neighborhood — it's tested by Public Water System (PWS). One utility pipes the same treated water to dozens of neighborhoods. So "what's the water like in Wind Harbor" really means "which utility serves Wind Harbor, and what does that utility's water look like."
Orange County Utilities — West Regional
- PWS ID (EPA SDWIS)
- FL3481546

EPA compliance status: In compliance. Zero MCL violations on record per EPA ECHO/SDWIS.
Bottom line: Same aquifer and same treatment approach as OCU South, so expect a very similar disinfection-byproduct and arsenic signature. TapWaterData's aggregation flags one contaminant clearly above guideline for this system. Legal water — with a DBP load that reverse osmosis or activated carbon removes almost entirely.
Two different things get called "bad water."
"Exceeds health guideline" means the contaminant is legally fine — below the enforceable limit — but above a stricter, non-enforceable benchmark (EWG's) that some scientists consider safer. Nearly every Florida utility exceeds several of these, because Floridan Aquifer groundwater plus chlorination produces disinfection byproducts.
2 flagged items on this system. Not illegal water. Genuinely useful if you want to filter it out.

Same source water and treatment as OCU South — expect a comparable profile. We do not publish a West-specific number we have not pulled from the CCR.
Legal — above a stricter, non-enforceable health guideline.

This is the single largest system by community count in unincorporated Orange County.
South Apopka is on this county system — not the City of Apopka utility — despite sharing the Apopka name and zip code. It is an unincorporated CDP adjacent to, but not inside, the city, with a documented history of water and infrastructure disparity complaints relative to the city next door.
Neighborhoods and communities served by Orange County Utilities — West Regional
Same treated water, same test results — the difference between these addresses is plumbing age and distance from the plant, not the source.
