Tampa Bay Water meets the region's drinking water needs with a diverse, flexible supply network, state-of-the-art water quality monitoring, and careful protection of our natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region's water is blended from three different sources: groundwater<\/a>, river water<\/a> and desalinated seawater<\/a>. Tampa Bay Water is the only water utility in the United States to take advantage of these three sources of water combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tampa Bay Water\u2019s regional network of water supply facilities includes a 120 million gallons per day (mgd) surface water treatment plant, a 25 mgd Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Plant, a 15.5-billion gallon reservoir and 120 mgd permitted capacity of groundwater from wells.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
