You will need to obtain connection pressure information from Orange County to properly design the water, wastewater, and/or reclaimed water system for your project. Request a hydraulic modeling analysis as follows.

For water and reclaimed water systems, prepare a written request including:

• Fire flow demand. (water requests only)
• Maximum day demand.
• Location of your proposed connection point. Provide a sketch with an address or parcel ID.

Submit the request to HGL.Requests@ocfl.net.

For wastewater systems, prepare a written request including:

• Average daily flow.
• Peak hourly flow.
• Location of proposed connection point. Provide a sketch with an address or parcel ID.
• Request for pressure at the connection location.

Submit the request to HGL.Requests@ocfl.net.

For fire sprinkler systems, contact the Field Support Center (FSC) at (407) 836-6818 or send an email to UD-FSC@ocfl.net to schedule a fire hydrant flow test. The Orange County Office of the Fire Marshal requires a fire hydrant flow test for fire sprinkler system designs.
