These eleven towns are in Hillsborough County. Most are unincorporated, which usually means County Water Resources for utility service where it reaches. Each line says what is distinctive about that town’s water or sewer.
| Town | What is distinctive about its water and sewer |
|---|---|
| Brandon | Unincorporated, so water and sewer normally mean County Water Resources, with the County’s address lookup deciding which of its eleven systems you are on. The County names grease and wipes as common sewer-blockage causes. |
| Riverview | County South Central water with Tampa Bay Water supply, a mostly owner-occupied single-family market, and hardness that depends on your street. Check County notices after a main break. |
| Valrico | County water and the County’s Valrico wastewater plant serve the area, in an owner-heavy market. Ask the County for your street’s hardness. |
| Bloomingdale | Two ZIP codes with Brandon and Valrico mailing names, so give your street address. Sewer, septic and hardness depend on the street, so check your bill. |
| Seffner | Part of the County’s South-Central service area, but some addresses use other city utilities or private wells. Sewer status varies by street. |
| Thonotosassa | The supplier depends on the address. Many homes outside service lines use wells and septic, so ask the utility about yours. |
| Dover | Parts of Dover are on private wells, and early 2026 drought left some wells dry. Well pump and pressure tank problems are a real local topic. |
| Gibsonton | The County says most of the area has no central sewer. A phased septic-to-sewer conversion is under way on an uncertain street-by-street schedule. |
| Ruskin | Mixed sewer, low-pressure systems and septic, with a County conversion starting in the west. Storm flooding in 2024 disabled a shared wastewater pumping system. |
| Apollo Beach | Low-lying canal community, about 7 feet above sea level, and part of the wastewater pumping system hit by 2024 flooding. County water is chloraminated. |
| Sun City Center | Older-adult community on County water with a corrosion inhibitor added. Sewer service depends on the address, and comfort and safety fixes are common requests. |
Lithia itself, the home city for this site, is also covered. See the home page for the full list of services.
City-run utilities, a different county and the outer edge
These seven towns include cities with their own utilities, one town in Manatee County and a Hardee County city. Where a city runs the water, its own annual report applies.
| Town | What is distinctive about its water and sewer |
|---|---|
| Tampa | City-run water drawn mainly from the Hillsborough River, with 2025 finished water reported at about 12.3 grains per gallon. The City owns the sewer and has a separate reclaimed irrigation system. |
| Temple Terrace | City groundwater utility. The lime softening step was reported non-functional in 2026, with hard-water complaints, and water-use restrictions run through March 2027. |
| Plant City | City-owned utility drawing only on Floridan Aquifer groundwater, with water the City puts at about 10.5 grains per gallon. A sewer backup is a City emergency. |
| Lakeland | City of Lakeland water, lime-softened Floridan groundwater with finished hardness roughly 6 to 8 grains depending on the plant. The City owns and treats wastewater. |
| Bartow | City water from five Floridan Aquifer wells and a City water reclamation plant. Polk County Utilities runs separate systems, so check your bill. |
| Parrish | Manatee County, not Hillsborough. Lime-softened groundwater blended with Lake Manatee water, county-run sewer and a small reclaimed irrigation system. |
| Bowling Green | Hardee County city with its own groundwater system and its own sewer plant. Almost all residents inside city limits are on central sewer. |
Several of these have extra pages for a single service, such as water heater repair in Tampa, leak detection in Lakeland and backflow testing in Parrish.
Water and sewer: four patterns across the plumbing service areas in Lithia, FL
Why the pattern matters
Four patterns cover most of the map. In the unincorporated Hillsborough towns, Hillsborough County Water Resources usually supplies water and sewer where lines reach, and the County’s regional supply comes from Tampa Bay Water, which blends groundwater, river water and desalinated seawater. In cities such as Tampa, Temple Terrace, Plant City, Lakeland and Bartow, the city runs its own water and often its own sewer. Parrish is in Manatee County and uses its own utility. And in several rural pockets, private wells and septic tanks are the owner’s responsibility.
The pattern decides who owns a failed pipe. The utility fixes its main and, usually, the meter. You fix everything after it. A plumber covers the house side. The guide to choosing a plumber helps with the questions to ask.
| Pattern | Where | Who fixes a failed main |
|---|---|---|
| County water and sewer | Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Seffner, Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Sun City Center and others | Hillsborough County |
| City-run utility | Tampa, Temple Terrace, Plant City, Lakeland, Bartow, Bowling Green | That city |
| Another county | Parrish (Manatee) | Manatee County Utilities |
| Wells and septic | Wells in parts of Dover and Thonotosassa; septic in most of Gibsonton | The owner, for the well, pump and tank |
Hardness differs from town to town
Hardness varies widely across the plumbing service areas in Lithia, FL. Some cities publish a figure, some utilities leave it to the annual report, and private wells have no utility report at all. Where a number appears on a town page it is labeled as the city’s figure or as an estimate. Otherwise, hardness depends on the supply serving your street, so ask your water provider. For the basics see the hard water guide, and for treatment see water softener installation and water filtration.
- Ask your utilityThe annual report or a phone call gives the number.
- Use a home test stripA rough check in minutes.
- Read your fixturesCrust, spots and rumble are signs.
- Do not buy treatment blindSize it to a real number.
Storm season in the plumbing service areas in Lithia, FL
Why storm season shows up in the plumbing
Heavy rain and hurricane season bring drains and septic systems under strain across low-lying parts of the area. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene flooding damaged a wastewater pumping system in south Hillsborough, and the County asked residents of Apollo Beach and Ruskin to cut water use until it was repaired. The County also says septic systems need fairly dry soil and that saturated ground can cause backups. That is general guidance, not a prediction for any home.
Before a storm, find the main water shutoff. The main valve guide shows how. After a storm, a broken line is a job for burst pipe repair and a backed-up drain is a job for clogged drain help. The burst pipe guide covers the first steps.
