Public water system
Who actually supplies Keene's Pointe'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 Keene's Pointe" really means "which utility serves Keene's Pointe, and what does that utility's water look like."

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.
What's flagged on the OCU West system
Tap any row for the detail. Values are utility-wide, as published.
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 We do not publish a West-specific number we have not pulled from the CCR.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.

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.

Same treated water, same test results — the difference between these addresses is plumbing age and distance from the plant, not the source.
