Orlando water facts worth knowing
Who supplies your water
Most of Orlando is served by OUC. Its customer line, (407) 423-9018, is also listed as the 24/7 line for outages and water quality concerns. We found no published OUC policy on bill credits for leaks on your side of the meter, so ask them directly.Source: OUC, frequently asked questions
Outside OUC territory
Homes in unincorporated Orange County are served by Orange County Utilities, (407) 836-5515. It grants a leak adjustment no more than once a year: request it within 60 days of the high use and include the repair invoice or receipt.Source: Orange County Utilities, leak adjustment request form (PDF)
Do you need a permit
Orange County (unincorporated) says a water heater change-out needs a plumbing permit, and it issues stand-alone permits for re-pipes. We have not confirmed the City of Orlando's own rule; ask your plumber who pulls the permit.Source: Orange County, plumbing permit
