Water Supply & Treatment
Miami-Dade`s sole source for drinking water is ground water from wells. The wells feeding the Hialeah and John E. Preston water treatment plants — which serve most Miami-Dade residents living between the Miami-Dade-Broward County line and SW 8th Street — draw water only from the Biscayne Aquifer. This is also true of the wells feeding the South Dade Water Supply System, which is comprised of five smaller water treatment plants that serve residents south of SW 264th Street in the unincorporated areas of the County.
Wastewater Disposal & Treatment
There are a variety of ways wastewater is disposed of in Miami-Dade County. A sanitary sewer system relies on underground pipes and aboveground facilities to transport wastewater to treatment plants. A septic tank system serves as an on-site wastewater treatment system in places where public sewers are not available.
