Located in northern Hillsborough County, the Lake Bridge Water Treatment Plant trims and adjusts the water quality of 8-13 million gallons of water per day (mgd) from the regional pipeline before it\u2019s delivered to Pasco County\u2019s water system. It also treats an average of 11.2 mgd of groundwater from the Cypress Bridge Wellfield. The plant has been operating since 2009.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
