Hernando County Utilities warns residents of calls from private water treatment companies that are identifying themselves as a water company in Hernando County and offering to test residents' drinking water. These sales calls are not connected with Hernando County Utilities. The department urges residents to be aware that it identifies itself through official letterheads, clearly marked vehicles and employee ID badges. For information, call 754-4037.
