Tampa Water Quality Report 2007 Is Now Available

The results are in. When you turn on the faucet in Tampa you are getting some of the best water in the state, thanks to the Tampa Water Department.

Annually the Tampa Water Department produces and distributes a Water Quality Report for analyses performed on its water in the previous calendar year. The report contains information on Tampa’s water sources, how the water is treated, how the water is tested, specific test results for any compounds detected in Tampa’s water and other helpful information.

Additionally, those who may have been concerned by recent reports about drinking water containing unregulated pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other potentially harmful compounds can be reassured that Tampa’s water is safe. As part of the Department’s ongoing commitment to protecting public health and safety, recent testing commissioned by the City revealed no detectable amounts of typical unregulated environmental contaminants and pharmaceuticals in its treated water.

Tampa Water Department customers will receive a copy of the 2007 report enclosed in their City of Tampa Utility bills between May 12 and July 1. Users who do not receive an individual City of Tampa Utility bill or other interested persons can view this year’s Water Quality Report at www.TampaGov.net/WaterQuality or request one at (813) 274-8121 Ext. 1010.

Tampa Water Department serves a 211-square mile area with a service population of approximately 645,000 people. The Tampa Water Department’s mission is to provide superior drinking water and reclaimed water services to its customers.
