Tampa Bay Water was formed nearly 25 years ago to provide a reliable supply of clean, safe drinking water at an equitable rate while safeguarding our environment. We continue to deliver on that promise, which is more important than ever because our region is growing, because public health and safety depend on it and because our communities need it to thrive.
