Ocoee grew up as a citrus town in western Orange County, and it sits noticeably high for Florida, around 157 feet above sea level. That elevation matters for wells: homes on the higher ground often have deeper static water levels, so their pumps sit farther down and work harder to lift water. A well that is simple near the lakes can be a different job up on the ridge.
The area's citrus heritage also left a legacy of irrigation wells, and beyond the newer subdivisions, plenty of established homes and rural lots still draw their own water from the Floridan Aquifer, commonly 100 to 400 feet down. That water moves through Central Florida limestone, so hardness and scale build inside pumps, tanks, and check valves until they cause a failure.
