Reclaimed Water Overview
| The Reclaimed Water project (formerly STAR - South
Tampa Area Reclaimed Water) distributes highly treated wastewater from the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant on Hooker's
Point to residents and businesses in parts of
South Tampa where it
can be used to irrigate lawns and landscaping. |

System Expansion Projects
 |
Extending reclaimed water
to other areas of Tampa will help conserve even more potable water. Before moving
forward, the City must first assess the feasibility of
these future expansion projects. The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) is providing assistance for the planning, engineering, citizen’s participation and financial analyses
of these projects. Boundaries will be determined during the design stages of
projects. |
Tampa Reduces Reclaimed Water Rate
Effective Oct. 1, 2007, Tampa's
reclaimed water rate decreased from $1.34 to $1.20 for each unit of water (748
gallons) used.
For everyone who is already a
reclaimed water customer - Thank You for helping to conserve Tampa's drinking
water.
For everyone who is located within
Tampa's
reclaimed water service area, and has not connected to the system, now is
the perfect time because it:
-
Frees homeowners from watering
restrictions;
-
Conserves Tampa's drinking water
supply;
-
Reduces the need to frequently
fertilize due to the nutrient content of the water; and
-
Tampa's potable water rates will
increase annually through 2011.
For more information about Tampa's
reclaimed water or getting connected to the system, please contact a
reclaimed water customer service representative at (813) 282-7827.
