Local conditions that shape the work

American Community Survey 2020–2024 estimates put Pensacola’s population at 54,036, with 28,298 housing units and a median year built of 1972. About 15% of units were built in 2000 or later, and about 31% were built before 1960.

Florida Climate Center 1991–2020 normals for Pensacola Regional Airport show a July average high of 91.6°F, a January average low of 43.7°F, 2,943 cooling degree days, 1,304 heating degree days, and 68.31 inches of rain a year, with July the wettest month at 7.89 inches.

Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA). ECUA’s 2025 Consumer Confidence Report says water came from 28 active wells, that the aquifer has no protective confining layer and is more vulnerable to surface contamination, and that basic treatment includes lime for pH, phosphoric acid for corrosion control, and chlorine. ECUA did not publish a hardness number in the portions of that report we relied on, so these pages do not invent one.

Hurricane Sally (September 2020) caused major damage in the Pensacola area (National Hurricane Center tropical cyclone report).

City of Pensacola Building Inspections issues city permits. ECUA and the city have wellhead-protection rules because the Sand-and-Gravel Aquifer is unconfined.
