Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Guide

Pay Your Miami-Dade Water Bill, Request an Extension, or Fix a High-Bill Problem

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department customers can pay online, by phone, by mail, at customer service centers, at kiosks, and through private pay stations. The safest path depends on your situation: normal payment, disconnected service, high bill, payment extension, leak concern, or in-person support.

This guide is built for real Miami-Dade water customers who need the correct official links, phone numbers, payment-fee details, reconnection steps, customer-service locations and practical high-bill checks.

Important local correction: This article should target Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, not the City of Miami as a separate water utility. Miami-Dade WASD handles water and wastewater service for hundreds of thousands of retail customers and many wholesale municipal utilities.

Disconnected for Non-Payment? What to Do After Paying

Miami-Dade has a very specific reconnection instruction. If your water was disconnected due to non-payment and you make the required payment, you must call Customer Care as soon as payment is made.

  1. Pay the required amount through an official method.
    Use the official payment page, phone payment or another authorized method.
  2. Call Customer Care immediately.
    Call 305-665-7477 after payment to request service reconnection.
  3. Call before the cutoff time when possible.
    Miami-Dade’s payment page explains different reconnection timing for weekday and weekend calls.
  4. Turn all fixtures off.
    Miami-Dade says calling to request reconnection means you accept responsibility for having all fixtures in the OFF position to avoid water loss or property damage.
  5. Be ready for the reconnection fee.
    Miami-Dade says a $35 reconnection fee is applied for each visit required to reconnect service.
Important: Service will not be reconnected if there is evidence of water registering at the meter. Make sure toilets, faucets, irrigation, hose bibs and appliances are off before reconnection.

Need More Time? Payment Extensions, WASD Cares and Payment Plan Tools

Miami-Dade’s online payment page says requests for an extension of time to pay can be made by logging into your account. The Water and Sewer Department homepage also links to WASD Cares and a Water Bill Payment Plan Calculator.

High Miami-Dade Water Bill Checklist: Leaks, Meter Reading and Irrigation

Miami-Dade says a high water bill is usually caused by undetected leaks. In South Florida, irrigation, toilets, pool fill, outdoor hose bibs and underground lines can raise usage quickly.

Toilet leak Listen for refilling or use a dye test. A toilet can waste water quietly all day.
Irrigation leak Check sprinkler heads, valves, wet soil, timers and zones that run too long.
Meter movement Turn off all water and watch the meter. Movement can show a private-side leak.
Pool and outdoor use Pool fill, pressure washing, hose use and landscaping can create big usage jumps.
Water restrictions Miami-Dade says lawn watering is not allowed between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
Repair proof Keep invoices, photos, dates and meter readings before asking about adjustments.

Before calling 305-665-7477, collect this

  • WASD account number and service address.
  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Meter reading and date/time you checked it.
  • Photos, plumber invoice or irrigation repair receipt.
  • Notes about pool fill, guests, new landscaping or irrigation schedule changes.
Useful habit: Learn to read your water meter and check it monthly. Miami-Dade says meter reading is an important indicator of water waste from leaks.
