Hillsborough County has just made its 2023 annual water quality reports available, delving into the testing results of local drinking water, information on water resources, and investments made in the water infrastructure.

With a stewardship spanning 10 community public drinking water systems, the county maintains a rather vigilant approach to quickly and efficiently meet safety standards and expectations. The reports, accessible on HCFL.gov/WaterQualityReports, detail these efforts and outcomes. Each water system has a dedicated report, tailored to supply specifics about the water residents and businesses receive.

Over the course of 2023, the Environmental Laboratory of Hillsborough County put to test roughly 7,739 water samples, totaling up to 33,200 tests. Said oversight is part of a framework to provide assurance that the water delivered to 715,883 people, which averages out to over 78 million gallons daily keeps to a reputable standard.

An interactive map is a key feature of the website, allowing individuals to easily find the report specific to their address. Those who prefer a printed copy can either call (813) 246-3146 or complete an online request form. Additionally, all customers are supposed to soon receive a notification about the water quality reports via their mailed or e-bill.
