Replacing a water heater in Trinity.
Trinity is unincorporated, so Pasco County issues water heater permits ($45 base plus $10 per system part); Duke Energy supplies power. This newer southwest Pasco community is mostly the Trinity Communities subdivisions, like Champions Club, Thousand Oaks, Heritage Springs and Trinity Oaks. About 75% of homes were built since 2000, and nearly nine in ten are detached houses.
Trinity is an unincorporated community in Pasco County, so county offices handle permits.

2006Median year built
2%Built before 1980
86%Owner-occupied
9%Heat with utility gas
93%Single-family homes
About 30% of homes were built since 2010, so many original water heaters are reaching the age when replacement planning makes sense.
91% of homes heat with electricity, which usually means an electric water heater. It’s worth getting a price on a heat pump model too.
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey ACS 2024 5-year ↗ (2020-2024). Heating fuel is what homes use to heat the house. It often, but not always, matches the water heater’s fuel.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
What’s different in Trinity.
From Aloha Utilities to public ownership
Aloha Utilities, a private company, served the Seven Springs and Trinity area. In 2005 the PSC started proceedings to remove part of its Seven Springs territory because of hydrogen sulfide problems. In 2009, Aloha's Pasco systems were transferred to the Florida Governmental Utility Authority; at the transfer hearing, a customer described years of black water. Knowing which utility bills you now tells you which water report applies.
