About Lake Apopka Natural Gas District
About Lake Apopka Natural Gas District
Lake Apopka Natural Gas District (LANGD) is a community-owned public utility providing affordable and reliable natural gas service to more than 30,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers in portions of Orange and Lake county.
Established in 1959, we are an independent special district of Florida created to meet the region’s growing energy needs. The District is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners appointed by its member cities (Apopka, Winter Garden, and Clermont) and operates with direct accountability to the communities it serves.
With more than 66 years of service to Central Florida, the District is responsible for system planning, infrastructure investment, operations, maintenance, and customer service. As a locally governed utility, decisions are made with the communities we serve top of mind, and we work closely with local governments, homebuilders, developers, and community partners to support responsible growth and long-term reliability.
Our role is straightforward: to provide safe, affordable, and reliable natural gas service to our community while maintaining the infrastructure that supports homes, businesses, and community development throughout the region. Through steady leadership and long-term planning, the District remains focused on serving Central Florida’s growing population with consistency and accountability.
