The Tampa Water Department provides water service to customers within the City of Tampa, as well as parts of unincorporated Hillsborough County.
Our rates provide the funding needed to cover the cost of making an average of 82 million gallons per day of safe, clean drinking water for over 725,000 residents in our service area. It also provides the resources we need to repair and replace aging water pipes, valves, pump stations, water storage systems (and much more) to ensure that you have reliable access to safe, clean drinking water every single day.
Your bill will depend on the following factors:
- How much water you use. We use a tiered rate structure to encourage water conservation. The more water you use, the more money you pay.
- The size of your water meter. Every bill will contain fixed monthly charges (known as base charges) for water and wastewater. This charge is based on the size of your water meter. Most single-family homes use the smallest meter, 5/8”.
- Where you live. Customers that live outside the City of Tampa limits but still receive water from the City of Tampa will pay slightly higher rates.
