Ways to pay less

Hidden leak? Ask for a once-a-year adjustment. North Miami will consider a once-per-year credit on a high bill caused by a concealed or underground leak or one behind a wall. Repairs must be completed within 15 days of the City's notice, and the extra consumption is credited at the first tier of the water rate. How: Submit the Underground/Concealed Leak Adjustment Request online with the bill, repair receipts, before and after photos and the account holder's photo ID.
Refilled your pool? Ask for the sewer credit. North Miami gives a once-per-year pool credit on the sewer portion of the bill for an inground swimming pool that is fully emptied and refilled; the sewer portion is adjusted for the water used. How: Submit the Pool (Sewer) Credit Request online with the account holder's photo ID; the City needs access to the pool area and meter.
Behind on the water bill? NoMi Water Bill Assistance. The NoMi Water Bill Assistance Program gives eligible North Miami residents a one-time emergency payment toward past-due utility bills (water, sewer, stormwater and/or sanitation). You must be two or more billing cycles behind and show financial hardship; funds are first come, first served. How: Apply in person at Utility Billing Services, 776 NE 125 Street (305-895-9880), with proof of hardship, photo ID and proof of residency.
