The City Beautiful’s Orlando Utilities Commission, which serves more than 414,500 people, ranked No. 81 in the list of 100 major metropolitan water providers in the U.S.

Other Florida cities and counties included were Odessa (No. 20), Manatee County (No. 38), Miami (No. 46), Pinellas (No. 57), Hillsborough County (No. 65), Tampa (No. 68), Cocoa (No. 86), Jacksonville (No. 91) and Pensacola, which ranked worst on the list at No. 100.

Orlando’s test showed that since 2004, seven chemicals had been found within the drinking water system that exceeded health risk limits. In addition, the test showed a total of 17 chemicals were found in the water system, more than double the national average of eight.
