The Tampa Bay Water Wise program was developed in partnership between Tampa Bay Water, the regional wholesale drinking water provider, and the six member governments that purchase the water and deliver it to their residents and businesses: Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties and the cities of New Port Richey, St. Petersburg and Tampa. The Southwest Florida Water Management District – one of five regional water management districts in the state of Florida – is co-funding this program. EGIA is the company that manages all of the rebate applications.
As the population in the Tampa Bay region continues to grow, the need for water grows. Every step you take can make a significant impact and, together, we can save enough water to delay the need to build new water supplies and keep water rates lower. We believe our residents have the power to make a real and lasting impact now and for our future. When everyone does their part, the savings really add up!
