Osceola County is one of Florida's fastest-growing counties, part of the Orlando metropolitan area. The northern portion near Kissimmee and St. Cloud has expanding sewer service, but rapid development in previously rural areas creates significant new septic system installations. Southern Osceola is still largely rural ranch land with septic systems as the only option. The Kissimmee River restoration project has altered hydrology in the southern portion.
