Water

Bal Harbour Village purchases its water from Miami-Dade County and then provides it to residents. The Public Works & Beautification Department is responsible for ensuring that the water distribution system delivers safe potable water for drinking, irrigation and fire suppression.

Water quality is maintained through a functional distribution system with routine inspections and maintenance.

Water Use and Metering

All water consumption is measured through monthly meter readings. Village residents use water in two primary ways:

Domestic Water – Drinking water supplied to the home.
- Charges include a water usage fee plus a sewer charge, calculated based on the amount of water consumed.
Irrigation Water – Water supplied to irrigation systems.
- No sewer charge is applied because irrigation water does not enter the sewer system.
- Irrigation meters must include a certified backflow preventer to protect the potable system from non-potable sources.
