Rising groundwater
Why Groundwater Matters for Miami-Dade Septic Tanks
A drain field only works when there is dry soil beneath it to filter the wastewater. In low-lying parts of Miami-Dade, the water table sits close to the surface, and the county is tracking which septic systems are most at risk.
About 9,000
septic systems in Miami-Dade are vulnerable to compromise or failure under current groundwater conditions.
About 13,500
systems are expected to be vulnerable by 2040 as groundwater conditions change.
12,000
properties are getting public sewer laterals because sewer is available or they are most vulnerable to rising groundwater.
What it means for your system
According to the EPA, a drain field is a shallow excavation made in unsaturated soil. When groundwater rises into that space, wastewater has nowhere to filter, which can lead to slow drains, odors and wet ground over the field, especially after heavy rain.
What you can do
Keep the tank on a regular pumping schedule so solids do not reach the drain field, and have the system checked if problems show up after storms. See septic tank pumping and septic inspections.

Connect 2 Protect
Septic to Sewer Conversion in Miami-Dade
Miami-Dade County's Connect 2 Protect is a multi-year, countywide initiative run by the Water and Sewer Department (WASD) to move properties off septic and onto public sewer, starting with the most vulnerable areas.
Check your property
In unincorporated Miami-Dade, the county's iWASD Connect GIS Viewer shows whether a property has septic or sewer service. If you are in a city, contact your local water and sewer department.
Help for homeowners
Eligible homeowners may receive up to $15,000 through the county's Septic-to-Sewer Financial Assistance Program, as a grant, a zero-interest loan or a low-interest loan depending on household income. A Homestead Exemption is required.
Commercial corridors
WASD is investing $126 million in bond funds to convert more than 1,000 commercial properties along five commercial corridors from septic to county sewer.
A separate project will bring sewer to more than 300 homes in the Little River area.
The old tank
Connecting to sewer does not make the septic tank disappear. Florida's onsite sewage rule requires a permit to abandon a septic system, and Miami-Dade sets a deadline to connect once sewer is available. See our installation page for the county's 90-day rule.
Waiting for sewer? The county asks owners to keep inspecting and maintaining their septic systems until they connect. A tank that fails before sewer arrives still needs service, so stay on your pumping schedule.

County guidance
Miami-Dade's Septic Care Tips for Homeowners
Miami-Dade County recommends having a septic system inspected and pumped at least every three to five years by a septic professional, or sooner if you suspect a problem. Its other tips for county homeowners:
Watch water use
The county says a family of four uses about 300 gallons of water a day. Spreading out laundry and fixing leaks reduces strain on the drain field.
Keep chemicals out
Drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, paint solvents, wipes and kitchen grease do not belong in a septic system. Toilet paper is designed to break down in the tank.
Protect the drain field
Do not drive or park over the system, keep the drain field covered with grass, and keep shrubs and trees away from it.

FAQ
Miami-Dade Septic Questions
Answers to what Miami-Dade homeowners and business owners ask about septic tanks, sewer conversion and service in the county.
Is Miami-Dade converting septic to sewer?
Yes, in stages. Miami-Dade's Connect 2 Protect is a multi-year, countywide initiative run by the Water and Sewer Department to extend sewer service to properties now on septic, starting with the most vulnerable areas. It includes a $126 million program for more than 1,000 commercial properties.
Connect 2 Protect →How many septic systems are in Miami-Dade County?
Miami-Dade County has identified over 120,000 residential and commercial septic systems in use. The county estimates that about 9,000 are vulnerable to compromise or failure under current groundwater conditions, rising to about 13,500 by 2040.
Miami-Dade County, Septic System Care →Can I check online whether sewer is available at my Miami-Dade property?
In unincorporated Miami-Dade, the county's iWASD Connect GIS Viewer shows whether a property has septic or sewer service. Properties inside a city should check with that city's water and sewer department.
Connect 2 Protect →Is there financial help to connect to sewer in Miami-Dade?
Eligible homeowners may receive up to $15,000 through the county's Septic-to-Sewer Financial Assistance Program, as a grant, a zero-interest loan or a low-interest loan depending on household income. A Homestead Exemption is required.
Connect 2 Protect →Do I still need to pump my septic tank if sewer is coming?
Yes. Until the property is connected, the septic system is still treating all of your wastewater, and the county asks owners to keep inspecting and maintaining it. A tank that is overdue can back up or damage the drain field before sewer arrives.
