Orlo Vista is a small, older community on the west side of Orlando in Orange County, tucked between West Colonial Drive and Hiawassee Road near Pine Hills. Today it is served largely by municipal water, so most homes here are not on a private well.
Where the wells are is on the older lots that kept a legacy well and on homes that run a private irrigation well for the lawn. Just to the northwest, the lots turn more rural toward Pine Hills and Apopka, and those genuinely run on private wells drawing the Floridan Aquifer, commonly 100 to 400 feet down. That water moves through Central Florida limestone, so hardness and scale build up inside pumps, tanks, and check valves over the years.
