- Each week the Tampa Water Department posts a different water conservation "Tip of the Week" to help you reduce your water use and conserve our limited water resources.
Tip #58: Be water aware. Knowing how much water you use is the first step to conservation. Use our Water Use Calculator
or take the 7-Day Water Challenge
at www.TampaGov.net/SaveWater
to see how your usage compares to Tampa’s average
. You can also check your own 12-month water use history, located on your utility bill
, to compare your current usage with last year's consumption.
Tampa is experiencing a water shortage as a result of below normal rainfall and decreased regional supply availability. Please do your part to help our community by avoiding unnecessary and wasteful water use. Customers located in Tampa's
reclaimed water
service area can call (813) 282-7827 to inquire about service availability.
Water conservation tips
and Tampa's entire emergency water use ordinance are available at www.TampaGov.net/water
. Water use violations may be reported 24/7 by calling the Water Use Violation Hotline
at (813) 274-8036 and leaving a detailed message. Please report any broken water lines or hydrants by calling Water Triage
at (813) 274-7400.
