Tampa Bay Area Residents are Invited to Help Plan Our Future Water Supply

The 2007 Update to the Tampa Bay Water Long-Term Water Supply Plan is underway.  The Plan Update began with six public workshops that were held around the Tampa Bay area in the month of April.  To encourage participation from around the region, meetings were held in each of Tampa Bay Water’s six member government jurisdictions – Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties and the cities of New Port Richey, St. Petersburg, and Tampa.
