Well drilling and water filtration inOrange County, FL
Orange County water comes mostly from the Floridan Aquifer, with Orlando Utilities Commission running the largest service footprint and the smaller cities (Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden, Winter Park) each operating their own treatment. OUC publishes finished-water hardness of 129 ppm as calcium carbonate, or roughly 7 grains per gallon, and the private wells we treat in eastern Orange County commonly test in the 10 to 25 grains-per-gallon range. Wells drawing from the shallow surficial aquifer in pockets of the county tend to carry higher iron and sulfide than the deeper Floridan. New well permits in Orange County go through the St. Johns River Water Management District.

Common concerns we treat
- OUC finished-water hardness at 7 GPG (129 ppm CaCO3) per the utility's 2023 report — private wells outside the OUC footprint routinely test in the 10 to 25 grains-per-gallon range
- Iron and hydrogen sulfide on private wells in eastern Orange County
- Chlorine average 1.0 ppm on the OUC system (chlorine rather than chloramines)
- OUC discontinued intentional fluoridation on July 1, 2025; natural fluoride runs around 0.14 mg/L
- Surficial aquifer wells running higher iron than Floridan zones
