Lake Meadow
Neighborhood water quality report
Lake Meadow (1990s-2000s) is served by Mixed — City of Ocoee Utilities plus private wells. It scores 78/100 because it sits on lakefront lots where shallow irrigation wells and iron staining are common; and on private or community wells, which no utility treats and no agency tests. Hardness here is high and chlorine/DBP exposure is low. Utility testing is system-wide, so these are modeled from 1990s-2000s plumbing and service-zone position — a free on-site test is what confirms your address.
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 Lake Meadow'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 Lake Meadow" really means "which utility serves Lake Meadow, and what does that utility's water look like."
City of Ocoee
- PWS ID (EPA SDWIS)
- FL3480204
- Population served
- ~47,000
- Source water
- Floridan Aquifer
EPA compliance status: In compliance.
Bottom line: Same disinfection-byproduct signature as the rest of the county's Floridan Aquifer systems — the chlorate and HAA5/HAA9 family. Nothing illegal on record; a carbon or RO stage is what actually changes what comes out of the tap.
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.
3 flagged items on this system. Not illegal water. Genuinely useful if you want to filter it out.
