City Of Mulberry Water Treatment Plant
The City of Mulberry is home to approximately 4,400 residents, and draws its groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. It provides potable drinking water to these residents and routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water, according to Federal and State laws, rules, and regulations.
The groundwater is pumped to our water treatment facility for a three step treatment process. The water is aerated to release volatile contaminants, chlorinated for disinfection and finally orthophosphate is added for inhibiting corrosion and deposition in the distribution network.
Aeration helps to remove tastes and odors, primarily hydrogen sulfide.
Disinfection of drinking water is required to inactivate bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms which might be present.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Utility Department directly.
