Tampa Bay covers Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco County cities. Tampa has drawn most of its water from the Hillsborough River since the 1920s, while most other cities buy from Tampa Bay Water’s blend of groundwater, river water and desalinated seawater, or run their own wells or reverse-osmosis plants. Low sandy ground, storm surge and older bungalows shape the calls. Use this page to find your city and the right local page.

Our Tampa Bay Coverage Area
A Regional Wholesale Water Supply
Tampa Bay Water was created in 1998 to end the old regional water wars and supplies wholesale water to its member governments. Tarpon Springs and Dunedin built their own reverse-osmosis plants, and Clearwater pumps city wells. Check your bill for your provider.
Bungalows, Cast Iron and Clay
Neighborhoods from the 1920s through the 1960s have galvanized supply, cast iron drains and clay laterals. A written inspection before buying or renovating shows what remains.
Storm Surge, Hurricanes and Sewer Strain
Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 strained sewers in St. Petersburg and flooded low streets across the bay. After a storm, check ceilings, floor drains and the heater area, and avoid heavy water use when the city asks.
Salt Air and Humidity
Bayfront and beach homes feel salt air that corrodes valves, supply stops and heater bases. Test shutoffs yearly and replace braided lines about every ten years.
