Water Service Interruption in Hialeah: Reconnection Steps

The City provides specific instructions for reconnection after non-payment. This is one of the most important sections for Hialeah customers because paying online alone may not be enough if customer service needs to verify payment.

Official reconnection path: Call Public Works at 305-556-3800, press option 4, confirm the account balance, pay the outstanding balance plus the required service fee, and call customer service after payment if verification is needed.
  1. Call before paying if service is off.

  5. Save all proof.
    Keep payment confirmation, date, time, amount, staff notes and any reference number.

Hialeah Water Bill Payment Plan Options

Hialeah allows payment plan requests under specific rules. The person requesting the plan must be the account holder or assigned as in care of the account holder.

  1. Confirm who can request the plan.
    Make sure the requester is the account holder or authorized in care of the account holder.
  2. Call or contact Public Works before the account becomes urgent.
    Use 305-556-3800 and ask about water/sewer payment plan options.
  3. Prepare for a down payment.
    The City says customers may be required to make a down payment.
  4. Understand monthly installments.
    The Department of Public Works determines the number of monthly installments based on set criteria.
  5. Keep paying regular monthly bills.
    The City says customers remain responsible for arranged payment plan payments plus regular monthly bills.
Important: A payment plan is not a reason to ignore new bills. Missing regular monthly bills while on a plan can create another past-due problem.
