SERVICE ADVISORY
96 -inch Raw Water Main Refurbishment along NW 74 Street and NW 70 Avenue
MIAM1-DADE
COUNTY
The Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) is committed to providing reliable and safe
drinking water to its customers. To this end, the Department utilizes various state-of-the-art methods to
monitor and assess the condition of its infrastructure. We have recently been alerted that portions of
the 96 -inch raw water main located along Northwest 74 Street will need to undergo refurbishment.
WASD staff will begin preparing for construction starting Saturday, December 2 with construction
activities and refurbishment of the water main commencing on Monday, December 4. The project is
anticipated to be completed in 10 days. Work during that period will take place 24 hours a day until
completed.
There will also be intermittent lane closures in the area of Northwest 74 Street and Northwest 70
Avenue to accommodate the construction work.
While this project is on -going, the northern and northeastern portions of Miami -Dade County may
experience intermittent instances of lower -than -normal water pressure, especially during peak demand
times in the early morning and evening hours.
We know this can be an inconvenience; however, being able to identify and proactively address
infrastructure repairs prior to failure results in a lesser impact both in terms of potential impact to the
surrounding community, the time service is impacted and cost.
WASD staff will also employ mitigating actions to offset impacts to consumers. We thank you in advance
for your understanding and patience during this time as we complete this essential upgrade. We look
forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service.
