Since its founding in 1957, Palm Springs has had its own water utility service, with the water treatment plant originally constructed and owned by the F&F Construction Company. The village government purchased the water plant from the F&F Construction Company in 1966 and later implemented significant improvements to it in 1976 and 1978. Today, the plant includes nine water supply wells and the water has been treated regularly since February 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vpsfl.org/335/Water|title=Water|publisher=Village of Palm Springs|access-date=November 2, 2021}}</ref>
