Maitland is one of north Orange County's older and greener cities, built among a chain of twenty-one lakes with Lake Maitland at its heart, and it has kept a settled, tree-lined character since its founding in the 1880s. Household water here is almost all municipal, so Maitland is not a well-water town in the usual sense.
Where the wells matter is irrigation. The mature, lakefront lawns and landscaping that define Maitland are very often kept green by a private irrigation well, separate from the household supply, drawing the Floridan Aquifer 100 to 400 feet down. That water runs through Central Florida limestone, so hardness and mineral scale build up inside pumps, tanks, and check valves, and a system working long dry-season cycles wears faster than owners expect.
