Future Drinking Water Sources
Planning for the future is an on-going process at Tampa Bay Water that includes more than potential new supplies. Our long-term planning process includes analyses of future demand, conservation potential, supply reliability, water shortage mitigation planning and hydrologic uncertainty – all wrapped up in the Long-term Master Water Plan planning process.
Tampa Bay Regional Water Quality
Providing clean, safe drinking water is a top priority at Tampa Bay Water.
The drinking water we provide our member governments is safe: it meets or is better than all local, state and federal drinking water regulations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection require that all water utilities provide their customers with a water quality report annually. The report contains details about your sources of drinking water, how it is treated, what it contains and how it compares to federal and state standards.
