The mission of the Wastewater Management Division is to ensure the public health through the continuous proper conveyance of wastewater in a safe cost-effective manner.

North Miami Beach's sanitary wastewater system dates back to the early 1950's. At that time four pumping stations were designed to provide sanitary wastewater treatment to several new developments. Today, there are 35 pump stations, 70 miles of sanitary sewer line and over 1,600 manholes in the waste water system.

In addition to the traditional sanitary wastewater collection systems of gravity lines serving a master pumping station, North Miami Beach has incorporated a low pressure sanitary wastewater system consisting of 68 grinder pump stations and approximately two miles of low-pressure force mains.

The City's wastewater collection system is interconnected with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Administration (MDWASA). The wastewater division adheres to the consent decree mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For information or requests for service call (305) 624-1177.
