The City of Apopka's Water Treatment division consists of three water plants, on Grossenbacher Drive, Sheeler Oaks Drive and the Myrtle Rogers Womble water plant located at the northwest Recreation facilities.



The Grossenbacher Water Plant is a 1997 Honorable Mention award winner from the FDEP for operations excellence.  It is served by three (3) wells with a total pumping capacity of 11.520 MGD.  The distribution system is served with five (5) high service variable freqency drives (VFD) with a total pumping capacity of 23.616 MGD.  The variable freqency drive allows the motor to adjust the speed of the pump automatically and maintain a near constant pressure throughout the distribution system.  This insures quality service to the consumer and increases consumer satisfaction.  The raw water from the wells is treated via aeration, disinfection and retention then stored in two (2) ground storage tanks having a total capacity of 1.5 MG.
