Orange County, FL

County water overview

Orange County is served by a patchwork of systems — OUC in Orlando, Orange County Utilities across unincorporated areas, and separate city utilities in Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden, Winter Park, and Maitland. Which one serves you depends on the street, not the mailing address.

Recent incidents

Actual "bad water" events near Orange County.

Orange County's real-world water problems over the last year have been infrastructure incidents, not contamination events. No countywide contamination event, no lead-in-water crisis, and no system in the county currently shows an active legal (MCL) violation in EPA's ECHO/SDWIS database.

  1. July 8-13, 2025Resolved

    Precautionary boil-water advisory — SR-535 corridor

    Orange County Utilities — SR-535 / Palm Parkway area

    A contractor struck a water main near SR-535 / S. Apopka-Vineland Rd. / Winter Garden-Vineland Rd. / Palm Parkway. Orange County Utilities issued a precautionary boil-water advisory for the surrounding area. This is standard procedure any time system pressure drops, because low pressure opens a path for bacteria — it does not mean contamination was found. The advisory was lifted after roughly three days once bacteriological testing came back clean, then extended once more into mid-August 2025 during repairs before being fully lifted.
