Help provided to neighboring utilities

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) stands ready to assist neighboring utilities in need. Following the recent historic rainfalls in South Florida, WASD deployed essential personnel and equipment from its Wastewater Collections and Wastewater Treatment Divisions to the City of Fort Lauderdale to assist with recovery and clean-up efforts.
