Where does East Lake’s water come from?

The regional groundwater supply’s primary source comes from 11 different wellfields pumping water from the Floridan Aquifer. The regional treated surface water supply’s primary sources are the Alafia River, Hillsborough River, C. W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir and the Tampa Bypass Canal.

Contaminants

The water sources for East Lake residences generally contain trace amounts of a number of different contaminants. Local governments routinely test and provide reports on these. They are required to keep these levels below what is considered toxic, according to regulation.

This includes:

• Arsenic
• Chromium
• Chlorine
• Lead
• Harmful bacteria

However since residents only drink about 1% of the water in these systems, the government does not have the resources to eliminate all of these contaminants completely.

It is the responsibility of residents to ensure their household has filtered water completely ideal for drinking, cooking and all household uses.
