Procedure for Setting a Water Meter on an Existing Water Service
If you have a property that had water service to it provided by the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) but for some reason, the meter was removed, you must have a water meter set on the existing service.

Pre-Construction Information (For Projects with Executed Service Agreements)
Construction or Floating Meters
A construction, or floating meter, is similar to the standard water meter used at most residences and places of business to measure the water used. However, unlike a standard meter, a floating meter is not attached or fixed to a specific site-it is portable (hence the term "floating").
Construction Contracts
To be eligible to bid on construction contracts with the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, you must be licensed to perform the specified type of work in Miami-Dade County.
Excavations
A Miami-Dade County Ordinance passed in August 2000 includes a provision requiring that the boundaries of all proposed excavations of 1,000 feet or less--including do-it-yourself jobs-be marked with a white water-based paint. (see further explanation below)

National Sanitary Sewer Overflow Abatement Project
Phase One of the Demonstration Project evaluates and documents the impact of MDWASD's SSO compliance and accomplishments throughout the 1990’s and early part of the 2000’s. It is anticipated that the sharing of this information will provide other municipalities and sewer system owners with an alternative approach to more successful sanitary sewer overflow abatement strategies.
