— QUICK WATER SUMMARY

What your water provider reported.

Tampa primarily draws from the Hillsborough River and serves the City of Tampa plus parts of unincorporated Hillsborough County. In 2025, stored treated water and purchases from Tampa Bay Water supplemented the river supply. The utility reported no violations in its tables. Tampa stopped adding fluoride in July 2025; the May result below predates that change. Two PFAS detections were reported only for water purchased from Tampa Bay Water at the Morris Bridge facility, not as a systemwide Tampa tap result.

Start with the simple list below. Open See details to see whether the comparison is a legal limit, a health benchmark or another value used in the official report.

UTILITY REPORTDescribes the public system

Useful for source water, treatment and provider-wide monitoring.

PROPERTY TESTMeasures one address

Needed when the concern involves a building, service line, private well or exact tap.

IMPORTANTOne does not replace the other

A compliant utility report cannot rule out a plumbing issue inside one property.

Hardness and TDS can vary from street to street.

A provider report cannot tell us the exact levels at your tap. We need to test your home to give you an accurate measurement.

*Provider reports describe the public distribution system—not the water at a specific home. Actual results vary by service address, plumbing, seasonal utility conditions and system configuration. A softener does not necessarily reduce TDS. Address-specific testing is required before treatment is recommended.
