About Us
Municipal water originates from various natural sources including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels across land or through soil layers, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some instances, radioactive materials. It may also collect substances from animal presence or human activities.
All water, including bottled varieties, reasonably contains at least some contaminants. Their presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For detailed information about potential health effects, contact the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Common source water contaminants include:
- Microbial contaminants: Viruses and bacteria from sewage facilities, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife
- Inorganic contaminants: Salts and metals occurring naturally or resulting from urban runoff, wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming
- Pesticides and herbicides: From agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential usage
- Organic chemical contaminants: Including synthetic and volatile compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, stormwater runoff, and septic systems
- Radioactive contaminants: Either naturally occurring or resulting from resource extraction activities
The EPA establishes regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems, while FDA sets similar limits for bottled water, providing equivalent public health protection. Some contaminants affect taste, odor, or color without posing health concerns.
Certain populations may be more vulnerable to specific contaminants. Infants, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised persons (such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, those receiving steroid treatment, and people with HIV/AIDS) should seek advice from healthcare providers. Additional guidance regarding Cryptosporidium infection prevention is available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline.
Elevated lead levels can cause serious health issues, particularly for pregnant women and young children. Lead typically enters water through service line and household plumbing materials. While we provide quality water, we cannot control plumbing component materials. If your water has remained unused for several hours, minimize lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30-120 seconds before using water for drinking or cooking. For concerns about lead, consider testing your water. Information about lead in water, testing methods, and exposure reduction is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

City of Orange Municipal Water Company and EPACity of Orange Municipal Water Report Information
Orange, Texas officially emerged in 1836 when Texas gained independence from Mexico. However, the area's history extends much further back. The Atakapas Indians, who arrived around 1600, were the first known inhabitants. They primarily subsisted on fish and game while worshipping ancestors believed to have come from the sea.
European settlement began with French arrivals in 1718, followed by Spanish settlers approximately 50 years later. The French established a thriving fur trade industry by utilizing indigenous labor and local fur-bearing animals. The Spanish, less successful in their ventures, eventually yielded to American expansion.
In the early 18th century, the elevated riverbanks along the Sabine River attracted pioneers venturing into what would become Texas. This location was initially known as Green's Bluff (or Huntley), named after the surveyor of the first land plot. At various points, the community was called Lower Town of Jefferson and later Madison (honoring President James Madison). Due to confusion with Madisonville, Texas, a new name was needed.
The community was renamed Orange because of native orange groves that caught boatmen's attention as they navigated the Sabine River. The town grew steadily as a vital connection between eastern and western United States, serving as a port for cotton-carrying cargo vessels. Timber, cattle, and agriculture also contributed significantly to local development.
The Civil War (1861-1865) severely impacted Orange, causing extensive damage to lives and property. Post-war challenges included a lawless period lasting nearly a decade and a devastating 1865 storm that caused additional destruction. Despite these setbacks, the community rebuilt: farmers restocked cattle, agricultural experiments continued, and more lumber mills were established.
A major advancement came in 1914 when the harbor was dredged to accommodate larger vessels, significantly improving transportation facilities and enabling shipbuilding during World War I. The wartime production boom substantially increased the population. After the war ended in 1918, Orange enjoyed prosperity until the Great Depression slowed progress.
World War II dramatically transformed Orange in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The community of approximately 7,000 rapidly expanded to around 60,000 residents. Shipyards resumed operations, local industries expanded to meet wartime demands, and a U.S. Naval Station was established. Many wartime arrivals remained afterward, establishing homes and raising families.
After transitioning from wartime to peacetime production, Orange's population stabilized around 35,000. The shipyards, lumber mills, port facilities, and Naval Station remained, while additional industries and businesses developed. Today, Orange offers diverse employment, recreation, and shopping opportunities. The city continues growing while maintaining its community charm and cultural heritage.
