Pinellas County, FLWater quality results, by county
Every year, water utilities publish official quality reports. I read them so you don't have to — here are the latest numbers for the counties I serve, in plain English, with links to the official reports. Last checked November 2026.
Pinellas County
About 12–14 grains hard — 'very hard.' Plus what EPA testing found for PFOS.
From the county's 2025 report, published in 2026.
See Pinellas results →Hillsborough County
Tampa's published range: 8–17 grains, shifting with the seasons.

The official report doesn't publish hardness at all. Here's what it does say.
From the county's 2025 report.
See Pasco results →Polk County
One of the few that publishes hardness — 3 to 7 grains depending on your system.
Most systems are on their 2025 reports — Lake Garfield is still on its 2024 report, and its page says so.
