Information
from the Drinking Water Data Base
Contents
The reports available on this page contain information on
all the public water systems in the State of Florida. Since the Drinking
Water Program does not have the capability to provide real time data base
inquires, we are providing these files so that you may query for whatever
information interests you. The files for Facilities and Flows are updated
quarterly. The Chemical and Treatment files are updated in March. Included
is information on sample results, average/max monthly flows, types of
water treatment, the type of system, address, capacity, sources of water,
population and service connections served, dates the Department performed
the last sanitary survey, and the dates the last bacteria and
inorganic/organic contaminant testing was performed.
Counties
The Department of Environmental Protection has six
district offices around the state. For the Basic Facility Reports there is
a list of the Florida counties and the DEP district that the county is in.
Note that some counties are split between more than one DEP district.
Public Water System
Identification Numbers (PWS ID)
Each water system in the data base is
identified by a unique seven digit number. For instance, the Murphree
Water Treatment Plant in Gainesville is identified by the number 2010946.
The first number of the identifier, "2", tells you that the water plant
lies in DEP District 2 which is in Jacksonville. The next two numbers,
"01", identifies the county where the water plant is located. In this
instance the county is Alachua. The last four numbers, identify the
specific water system within the county and DEP district.
