Tampa water facts worth knowing
Who supplies your water
The City of Tampa Water Department. Customer service is (813) 274-8811, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For water emergencies after hours, on weekends and holidays, the city lists (813) 274-7400.A leak raised your bill
The city reviews high bills after a leak is fixed. It asks for a copy of your plumber's repair bill, or a letter saying what was repaired and the date. Accounts with less than a year of history may not qualify.Source: City of Tampa, high bill
The free leak check
Compare the reading on your water meter with the reading on your bill. A higher meter reading with no change in how you use water may mean a leak.Source: City of Tampa, high bill
Do you need a permit
Repairing a leak in a pipe, valve or fixture needs no permit. Removing defective pipe and replacing it with new pipe counts as new work, so a repipe needs one. A water heater replacement goes through a plumbing trade permit without plan review.
