Gulfport, Florida, sources its tap water from the Tampa Bay Water Regional Surface Water Plant, which draws from the Alafia River and the Tampa Bypass Canal. Recent analyses have detected contaminants such as barium, bromochloromethane, and total chromium in the water supply. The Environmental Working Group’s Tap Water Database indicates the presence of these and other contaminants in the local water. Additionally, the city has experienced incidents, including a precautionary boil water notice issued in October 2023 due to a water main break, raising concerns about water safety. 

The most recent Gulfport Water Quality Report showed an average water harness in the area of 161 parts per million which is considered hard.

Recent sampling conducted at Gulfport water treatment plants detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new MCL (maximum contaminant levels), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion. In numbers, that would be 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS, individually to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole house PFAS filtration systems.

Gulfport, FL, receives its tap water from Tampa Bay Water, which sources from a mix of surface water, groundwater, and desalinated seawater. The primary sources include the Alafia River, Hillsborough River, and the Tampa Bypass Canal, all treated at the Tampa Bay Water Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant. The water is treated to meet federal and state drinking water standards before being distributed to Gulfport residents. Additionally, some groundwater is drawn from the Floridan Aquifer to supplement the supply.
