WASD Ordinance Letter A Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset tracks compliance letters issued by Miami-Dade's Water and Sewer Department (WASD) to wholesale water and sewer customers planning new developments. Each record shows the location, water/sewer usage estimates, connection details, and approval status for major development projects that need WASD authorization. Residents and developers use this to understand what large-scale water and sewer infrastructure projects are happening in their area and how much capacity they'll consume.
Why This Matters
- A developer planning a new commercial complex checks this dataset to see what ordinance letters have been approved nearby and understand the approval process and typical water/sewer demand numbers for similar projects.
- A neighborhood group researching planned developments in their area uses the location data and project URLs to track which commercial or industrial projects have received water/sewer permits and when they were approved.
- A city planner analyzing infrastructure capacity looks at aggregate water and sewer gallons per day (GPD) figures to understand total demand from approved developments and identify areas nearing capacity limits.
