Abstract

In 1975, the 169 municipalities and 5 county water systems listed in this report supplied 1.037 million gallons of water each day, on the average to 77 percent of the population of the State of Florida. The quantity of water supplied represented 90 percent of the State's public water supply demand. Of the 169 municipalities and 5 county systems, 150 supplied 887 million gallons of ground water and 24 supplied 150 million gallons of surface water each day, on the average, representing 85 percent and 15 percent, respectively, of the total demand of the 174 water systems. Three of the 150 municipal ground-water suppliers are reported to have processed, that year, about 3.2 million gallons of water each day by desalination.
