Where does Pinellas Park’s water come from?

Pinellas Park primarily derives its water supply from a combination of groundwater sources and surface water sources.

Wells source groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, an extensive underground limestone formation that underlies a significant portion of Florida. This aquifer stands as a primary drinking water source for the state. Authorities typically treat the water from these wells to meet minimum quality and safety standards before they distribute it to residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Pinellas Park.

Aside from groundwater, certain sections of Pinellas Park might also access water from surface sources like lakes, rivers, or reservoirs. The availability of such sources depends on the particular water management strategies and city demands.

Contaminants

The water sources for Pinellas Park 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.
