The City of New Port Richey’s Water Production Division is responsible for providing residents and businesses with water that meets or exceeds standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The City purchases its raw water from the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water. This water which comes from the Starkey wellfield is treated at the William C. Maytum Water Treatment Plant and then pumped into the City’s distribution system. The Water Distribution Division maintains and repairs more than 131 miles of water lines and has more than 11,600 water service connections. Our services provide water to homes, businesses, offices, restaurants, medical facilities, and individual and bulk customers. The City’s Water Reclamation Facility is the largest in Pasco County. It is capable of treating up to 7.5 million gallons of wastewater a day. Our plant processed over 2 billion gallons of wastewater last year to near-drinking-water quality. The treatment process removes 99.3% of pollutants. All treated water is pumped to the master reuse system for beneficial re-use. City parks, schools and residents all use treated water for irrigation purposes. The City of New Port Richey uses about 1 million gallons per day, and the balance (about 4.5 million gallons per day) is pumped to Pasco County Utilities for distribution throughout the County.
