Description: Public Potable Water Supply Wells are potable water wells connected to a public water system that are permitted by consumptive use permit to withdraw an average daily amount of 100,000 gallons per day or greater of groundwater and are classified as a public supply well. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells are included when they function to store public potable water supplies. Within Unincorporated Hillsborough County, WRPAs are designated around public potable water supply wells. The WRPAs are based on hydrologically modelled ten-year travel times plus an additional 500-ft buffer which were determined to give some degree of protection from identified sources of potential ground water contamination. The Wellhead and Surface Water Protection regulations of Unincorporated Hillsborough County can be found in the Hillsborough County Land Development Code Part 3.05.00.

Description: PWWPAs consist of property located within a 500-foot radial setback distance around the PWWPA wells. The 500-ft radial setback provides surface and subsurface protection measures to the ground water source around the potable water wellfields. Lands located in a PWWPA are subject to the restrictions and prohibitions found in Chapter 62-521.400 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), as amended. Chapter 62-521 F.A.C. requires compliance with location of certain land uses and activities. The Wellhead and Surface Water Protection regulations of Unincorporated Hillsborough County can be found in the Hillsborough County Land Development Code Part 3.05.00.

Description: The SWRPAs are around land located adjacent to or near surface water bodies that are upstream of potable water supply systems. The SWRPA also includes the land area of applicable surface water bodies and watercourses. The protections are designed to protect downstream water quality from threats of certain types of land use activities and surface water discharges. The SWRPAs are based on, but not limited to the following criteria:The protection area along the Tampa Bypass Canal from Fowler Avenue south to State Road 60 and along the Harney Canal from the Hillsborough River to the Tampa Bypass Canal extends 1,000 feet from the outside edge of the top of the bank on both sides of the canal.The protection area on the primary reach of the Hillsborough River and Alafia River consists of a protection area based on the FEMAs designated 100-year floodplain plus a 200-foot buffer. The protection areas for named tributaries that are directly connected to the Alafia and Hillsborough Rivers and have overall perennial flow (based on USGS/EPA data) are based on the FEMAs designated 100-year floodplain. The Wellhead and Surface Water Protection regulations of Unincorporated Hillsborough County can be found in the Hillsborough County Land Development Code Part 3.05.00.

Description: PWWPAs consists of property located within a 500-foot radial setback distance around potable wells that are used for human consumption and designated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as Community or Non-Transient Non-Community potable wells. The 500-ft radial setback provides surface and subsurface protection measures to the ground water source around the potable water wellfields. Lands located in a PWWPA are subject to the restrictions and prohibitions found in Chapter 62-521.400 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), as amended. Chapter 62-521 F.A.C. requires compliance with location of certain land uses and activities.
