One of the concerns voiced against annexing the South Apopka, Census Designated Area (CDA) was the cost of adding water access to the 2,175 residences. Fortunately, there will be no cost! Due to a Joint Use Agreement decades ago between the County and City, the citizens of the CDA were attached to the City water system and have been paying the City water and taxes.

That is about half century of water and taxes. In 2021, there are now about 2,175 residences in the CDA. At $50 a month, that is almost $108,750 or $1,305,000 this year. Couldn't that water income pay for services for this needy area?
