Orange Park Utilities Setup: Electric, Water, Gas, Internet
Direct phone numbers, the Clay Electric Cooperative footprint, and where the Town of Orange Park water service ends. Built for closing day.
Orange Park sits in northern Clay County, just across the Buckman Bridge from Mandarin and ten minutes south of downtown Jacksonville. The utility map here is one of the cleaner ones in North Florida. Clay Electric Cooperative covers the electric for almost every Orange Park address. The Town of Orange Park runs the water and sewer system inside town limits, with Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA) picking up unincorporated addresses just outside. Natural gas is rare; most Orange Park homes that use gas appliances run on propane. If you're closing on a home in downtown Orange Park or out toward Doctors Lake, this is the call sheet.
Electric in Orange Park | Clay Electric Cooperative
Clay Electric Cooperative is the Orange Park electric provider for the vast majority of addresses in town and the surrounding Clay County area. Clay Electric is a member-owned non-profit, similar in structure to WREC over on the Tampa Bay side. JEA serves a small pocket of newer Orange Park-edge subdivisions near the Duval line; check the meter logo if you're not sure.
Clay Electric rates tend to run lower than JEA for the same usage, which has helped keep Clay County more affordable than Duval despite the Jacksonville growth boom. The co-op also returns surplus revenue to members as capital credits, paid out on a multi-year cycle.
Water and Sewer | Town of Orange Park (and CCUA)
The Town of Orange Park runs water and sewer for addresses inside town limits. That covers downtown Orange Park, most of the older neighborhoods on either side of US 17, and the homes immediately around Doctors Lake. Unincorporated addresses just outside town are usually on Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA) instead. Confirm the service provider on the seller disclosure before you call.
Some Orange Park-area homes outside the town water grid are on private wells. If you're buying past the established subdivisions, check whether the property has a well and septic system. Floridan aquifer water in Clay County tends to be clean but hard, and most well homes here run a softener and an iron filter.
Gas in Orange Park | Mostly Propane
Natural gas service is rare in Orange Park. Most homes that use gas appliances run on propane delivered by a local supplier. AmeriGas, Suburban Propane, and Florida Public Utilities all serve the Clay County market. If you're buying a home with a propane tank, ask the seller whether the tank is owned outright or leased from the supplier. Lease tanks stay with the supplier and limit who you can buy fuel from.
Trash and Recycling | Clay County Solid Waste
Clay County contracts residential trash and recycling pickup through Republic Services and other vendors depending on the area. Service is mandatory for most parcels and billed annually on the property tax statement. New homeowners don't typically need to call to start service.

A few Orange Park notes
Orange Park sits at the south end of the Buckman Bridge, with the St. Johns River and Doctors Lake forming the eastern and northern edges of town. Doctors Lake is technically a tidal arm of the St. Johns, which means homes along it can sit in flood zones AE or VE depending on elevation. Pull the FEMA designation for any waterfront address before you write an offer.
If you're searching for the right Orange Park utility companies, the answer depends on which side of the town border the property sits on. Town of Orange Park water inside the limits, CCUA outside. Clay Electric Cooperative for power on almost every address. JEA on a small handful of border parcels. Set up utilities in Orange Park three to five business days before closing so you don't lose a day to verification.
