What plumbing actually looks like in Orlando
Orlando Utilities Commission says its water comes from the Lower Floridan Aquifer, used by OUC since 1957, and that average hardness is 129 ppm, or 7 grains per gallon. That is hard enough to scale fixtures and water heaters over time, though softer than Tampa’s 2025 finished-water average.
The ACS median year built is 1992, newer than mid-century Gulf-coast cities, and June is the wettest month at 8.05 inches. City of Orlando Permits & Inspections issues plumbing permits.
