Septic-to-Sewer Financial Assistance Program

The Septic-to-Sewer Financial Assistance Program assists Miami-Dade County homeowners to discontinue the use of septic systems and convert to the County’s centralized sewer system as part of the Connect 2 Protect initiative. Eligible homeowners with a Homestead Exemption can receive up to $15,000 in grants, zero-percent interest loans, or low-interest loans to fund conversion costs. The various financial assistance options (grant, zero-interest loans and low-interest loans) would be awarded to eligible homeowners based on their corresponding household income levels. Once funds have been received, eligible homeowners will need to contract a licensed plumber to perform the necessary work.

The program is available on a first-come, first-served basis and aims to promote public health and environmental sustainability. To determine your eligibility and apply for the program, please fill out the application form and upload the required supporting documents. You can also submit your application in person at designated Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) full-service or cashier only Customer Service locations.

We encourage all eligible property owners to consider the benefits of transitioning from septic tank systems to the County’s centralized sanitary sewer system. Together, we can work towards a more sustainable and healthier Miami-Dade.
