Sophisticated science and technology allows us to make effective and efficient decisions regarding the operation and management of our water supplies.

Tampa Bay Water collects more than a million pieces of information annually that helps us make timely decisions on the rotation of our groundwater, surface water and desalinated seawater supplies – and to plan for the region's long-term water supply.

All of the data is collected and analyzed through our Optimized Regional Operations Plan.

Our network of diverse sources must be flexible enough to respond to climatic and environmental conditions as well as water quality, mechanical and maintenance needs.
