Potable (Drinking) Water
The City of Winter Springs serves 33,430 residents with an average of 3.89 million gallons of water each day through 14,006 active potable water connections. We have 244 miles of potable water lines transporting water from 3 water treatment plants to homes and businesses throughout the City.

The City's source of drinking water comes from the Floridan Aquifer (groundwater). Water is pumped from the aquifer using 8 different wells located throughout the City. The water is treated with aeration and chlorination using liquid chlorine. Aeration removes hydrogen sulfide from the water. Chlorine is used to disinfect the water to ensure that a clean, safe product is delivered to your home. The water has an average hardness of 150 mg/l or 8 grains. For more information on the quality of the drinking water, please refer to the current and past Drinking Water Quality Reports posted on the utility webpage.
