In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires community water systems to each year publish information about their water, including its sources, how it is treated, and compliance with regulations.
Hillsborough County has released its 2023 annual water quality reports, which are available to the public, according to a news release.
The reports explain Hillsborough County’s drinking water quality testing results, offer information on local water resources, and outline the county’s continued investment in the local water infrastructure.
Hillsborough County Public Utilities operates 10 community public drinking water systems and each system has its own report.
The county’s Water Resources provides more than 78 million gallons of drinking water per day on an annual average basis to 715,883 people.
In 2023, a county team collected approximately 7,739 water samples and performed 33,200 tests on the drinking water.
The website, HCFL.gov/WaterQualityReports, includes an interactive map that allows viewers to type their address and locate the report that pertains to their residence or business.
Printed copies of the reports can be obtained by calling 813-246-3146.
All customers will receive notice of the available water quality reports through either their mailed bill or e-bill.
