Where Does Orlando’s Water Come From?<\/h2>\r\n

Orlando’s primary water source is the Lower Floridan Aquifer, a protected reservoir below ground.<\/p>\r\n

The aquifer is fed by rainwater, which goes through a natural filtration process as it makes its way down through hundreds of feet of rock and sand.<\/p>\r\n

The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) pumps water from the aquifer to various facilities where it’s treated to meet safe drinking water standards.<\/p>\r\n

How Does City Water Testing & Treatment Work?<\/h2>\r\n

Once water from the aquifer is fed through ozone contact basins, it’s treated with chlorine and fluoride, pumped into a finished water storage tank, and distributed.<\/p>\r\n
