Reverse Osmosis Water Facility

The City of Tarpon Springs has been operating our Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Facility since August 2015. Co-funded with a grant from the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), this local water supply allows for minimal travel time to your tap while utilizing free chlorination for disinfection, which is a superior disinfectant that provides the highest EPA standard for disinfection. 

What Our Facility Provides

• Sustainable supply through the use of alternative water sources (brackish groundwater) 
• Consistent high quality water through state -of -the -art reverse osmosis (RO) treatment 
• Environmental benefit through use of solar power at the facility 
• The ability to plan the City’s future, including rate schedules and planning for growth
• Choice of projects required to maintain or improve water quality
• Choice of treatment and disinfectant processes
