North Miami to receive $2.3M for septic to sewer conversions

Dec. 13, 2022
The city is receiving grant funding to convert both residential and commercial properties to a centralized sewer system as part of Florida’s Biscayne Bay Grant Program.

The City of North Miami announced that it is receiving a $2.3 million state grant from the state for its septic to sewer conversion project

The state’s multi-million-dollar allocation will come from the Biscayne Bay Grant Program to seven local governments. North Miami’s grant is the second highest allocation earmarked for local governments as part of the state’s $22.7 million investment in water quality improvements for the South Florida region.

“We are excited about the recent announcement from the State of Florida,” says Theresa Therilus, North Miami city manager. “The infusion of state funds will help the city continue to serve the needs of our local residents by allowing them the opportunity to finally convert to the city’s sewer system.”

North Miami will use the funds to convert both residential and commercial properties from individual septic tank use to the city’s centralized sewer system. The $2.3 million state grant is in addition to $500,000 from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection the City of North Miami received in October for septic to sewer conversion.

“This is government at work for the people,” says Alix Dsulme, North Miami vice mayor. “We will continue to work on behalf of our constituents to ensure that they have access to a reliable wastewater management system that is managed and maintained by the great City of North Miami.”
