The Tampa Water Department and the Tampa Wastewater Department provide drinking water and wastewater collection services to customers located in the City of Tampa as well as parts of unincorporated Hillsborough County.  

The Tampa Solid Waste Department offers trash, recycling, and yard waste pick up services only to customers that are located within the City of Tampa.
