Tampa Bay Water is often cited as a model of regional cooperation, thanks to the spirit of regionalism that created the utility as well as the continuous regional efforts of our board of directors. Each elected official on our nine-member board represents an individual city or county that we serve, but at the dais, each also represents the Tampa Bay region as a whole. The policy decisions and directives of our board ensure our region has adequate and sustainable drinking water to support our economy, environment and way of life.
