Where does Tierra Verde’s water come from?

Tierra Verde’s water comes from a combination of groundwater and surface water sources. The majority of the city’s water supply is sourced from the Cosme-Odessa wellfield, which is located in northwest Hillsborough County. This wellfield draws water from the Floridan aquifer, a vast underground water source. Additionally, the city also purchases treated surface water from the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water.

Contaminants

The water sources for Tierra Verde’s 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.
