Announcement: Fire Hydrant Flushing
Posted: 1-13-2012
The City of Orange City will begin flushing fire hydrants throughout the community starting on Sunday, January 22, 2012. Hydrant flushing will be performed between the hours of 10:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. and continue for approximately four weeks until all city hydrants are flushed and hydrostatically tested. Flushing is performed at night to minimize any inconvenience this may cause to our customers.
Flushing can cause discoloration of the drinking water and periods of low pressure. If needed, an outside faucet can be run for 5 minutes until the water clears. The hot water should also be checked for discoloration prior to doing laundry.
The purpose of hydrant flushing is to clean the water mains and to check the mechanical condition of the fire hydrants. Flushing is necessary for the proper cleaning and maintenance of the water distribution system.
If you have any questions, please call the Public Works & Utilities office at (386) 775-5449.
CURB APPEAL PROGRAM
Posted: 10-26-2011
You are eligible to nominate a residential or commercial property who you think takes the extra time to enchance their curb appeal. Winners will be selected on a bimonthly basis by a committee consisting of one member from the Planning and Zoning Board, one staff member from Development Services and one member of Code Enforcement. Winners will receive gift cards from local area businesses. Please take the time to recognize your surrounding home and business owners.
The Mayor, City Council Members, and Orange City Staff want to welcome you to Orange City's homepage.
The City is proud of its small town ambiance, while offering all the
amenities necessary for today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Residents are fortunate to
have some of the safest and most affordable neighborhoods in Volusia County. One
can choose to live in a single-family home, manufactured home, condominiums or
even rental apartments.
Because of its desirable location in Volusia County, several gated
communities are being developed in the area. Within the City of Orange City
there are many homes that are graced with medium and estate-sized lots. These
lots have many large trees, which helped Orange City to become designated as
“Tree City USA.”
