Drinking Water Systems (Public)
Environmental Health Services inspects, permits
and investigates any complaints associated with public drinking
water wells in Hillsborough County (city/county municipal
systems, trailer parks, food services, child care facilities,
business offices, etc.). All new public drinking water wells
installed must have plans submitted for review prior to construction,
and the cost varies. After construction, the wells are monitored
for bacteriological and chemical compliance and are inspected
yearly.
