By volume, Hillsborough County ranks 6 of 40 reporting counties. The largest single release reported in Hillsborough County reached 404,000 gallons. The latest entry for the county carries a report date of October 10, 2026. At 76 reported releases, the Hillsborough County question is which basins repeat. Hillsborough County carries a mixed vintage, 31.4% of its 618,220 housing units dating to before 1980 in US Census ACS housing age estimates. The estimated median Hillsborough County structure is 31 years old. That split makes Hillsborough County work uneven, with older cores needing sanitary sewer rehabilitation and newer tracts only pipeline cleaning.
