Overview  

The Utilities Operations Division is responsible for the operation of the City’s drinking water system and the Water Reclamation Facility. All personnel responsible for the operations of these systems are required by federal regulation to become certified in the operation of these systems. The City of Plant City requires all operators to become certified in both water and wastewater operations. 

Drinking Water System

The City’s drinking water system is supplied by groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. We currently have 4 wells which maintain the water supply. These wells are drilled to depths ranging from 730 – 1,203 feet. A 5th well is currently being under design. Our water system is also interconnected with the City of Lakeland’s water system for emergency fire flow use.
