4. Water and Sewer Adjustments and Credits

   The City of North Miami Finance Department/Utility Billing Division oversees the billing for city utilities. Although commonly referred to as the "water bill", the utility bill includes charges for water, sewer, stormwater, and/or sanitation. 

   The customer is responsible for performing repairs on private property, along with maintaining their service line. 

   The City of North Miami is responsible for maintaining the city’s service lines along with the meter. The City does not perform repairs on private property, provide advice for specific repairs, or make plumbing/contractor recommendations or referrals.

   The City encourages customers to find and repair leaks as quickly as possible to conserve water, a critical resource. 

   The customer is responsible for all water consumption past the meter box whether concealed or underground. Any water system leaks on the customer’s side of the meter are the customer’s responsibility to locate and repair. However, customers may apply for an adjustment to their bill. 

   Note the following regarding possible adjustments: 

   • No adjustment will be granted for a hose, faucet, toilet, or water heater that was running inadvertently, or any other plumber fixture that has otherwise allowed water to flow for any period of time. 
   • If the customer’s account (either property owner or tenant) is determined to be delinquent, an adjustment or credit will not be accepted/granted until all outstanding delinquent charges have been paid, or a current payment arrangement is on file. 
   • The customer will be responsible for all consumption. The consumption will be credited at the first tier of the water rate structure. 
   • Any billing credits will be applied on the next billing after the request is approved. 
   • No refund checks will be issued for credits granted.
