Use Less, Save More: Every Drop Counts!

Miami Beach uses a tiered water rate system to encourage efficient water use. As water use goes up, rates increase — promoting conservation while helping cover the cost of water supply, treatment, distribution and maintenance.

Wastewater and sewer services are included in your water bill, since treating wastewater is part of the overall cost of providing potable water.

Learn more about our water and sewer rates at www.miamibeachfl.gov/water-conservation.

Do Not Feed Community Cats

The City of Miami Beach community cat population is actively managed through the city’s Cat Program and is cared for by designated registered cat feeders who follow established feeding and colony-management protocols while abiding by all city ordinances.

If you are not a registered feeder with the city, please do not feed the cats. Unregistered feeding can interfere with the TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) Program which provides medical intervention and adoption placement. To ensure successful trapping, our registered cat feeders are notified in advance and asked to temporarily withhold food as part of the coordinated trapping process. When cats are fed prior to scheduled trapping, they are less likely to enter the traps, which can delay urgently needed medical care, sterilization and placement opportunities.

Our goal is to ensure that our city remains beautiful and welcoming for our residents and visitors, while continuing to provide responsible and humane care for the cats who live here.

If you or anyone you know are interested in volunteering or becoming a registered feeder, visit https://linktr.ee/sobecatsvolunteer and fill out an application.

Dispose of Yard Waste Properly, Keep the Bay Healthy!

Keeping landscaping debris out of storm drains and waterways can help reduce flooding and improve water quality. Leaves, grass clippings and other vegetative matter can clog storm drains and cause excess nutrients to runoff into waterways, harming water quality and marine life in Biscayne Bay.

Under the Water Quality Ordinance, lawn clippings and other yard waste are considered pollutants when they enter our waterways. Don’t blow or rake leaves and other debris into the street where they can end up in storm drains or nearby waterways.

For more information, visit MBRisingAbove.com or contact sustainability@miamibeachfl.gov

Report any blocked or damaged storm drains to our 24/7 Control Room by calling 305.673.7625.

Do Not Drive Through Floodwaters

King tides and heavy rain can cause flooding on some streets and low-lying areas throughout our city. Please avoid driving through floodwaters both for your safety and to prevent vehicle damage.

If you must drive, don’t speed — waves worsen flooding effects in neighborhoods.

For more flood safety tips, visit miamibeachfl.gov/flood-awareness.

FPL Storm Safety Tips

Hurricane season is here and staying prepared helps keep you and your family safe. Florida Power & Light (FPL) works year‑round to strengthen the grid and train crews so they’re ready to respond when severe weather arrives – and we encourage our community to take a few simple steps to stay storm‑ready too:

• Create and share an emergency plan with your household
• Stock up on essentials like batteries, flashlights, a radio, non‑perishable food, water and medications
• Have a qualified professional trim trees near your home before storm season
• Bookmark FPL.com/Storm, download the FPL Mobile App and save 1.800.4.OUTAGE (1.800.468.8243) in your phone
•  If you ever see a downed power line, keep a safe distance and call 911 and 1.800.4.OUTAGE



A little preparation makes a big difference. Stay informed, stay ready and stay safe. For more helpful storm resources, visit FPL.com/storm.

Fight the Bite

Take precautions against mosquito-borne illness by applying bug spray, avoiding areas with high mosquito populations and wearing long pants and long-sleeve shirts when possible – especially during sunrise and sunset when mosquitoes are most active.

To prevent the bite and spread of disease by mosquitoes, remember to drain and cover.

• Flush water from water-bearing plants so they don't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Disposing of excess water at least once a week disrupts the mosquitoes' life cycle, preventing mosquito egg deposits and killing existing larvae in the process.
• Survey your garden and backyard, checking landscaping for current and future locations of standing water. Mosquitoes need as little as a bottle cap of water to reproduce, so every little bit counts.
• Eliminate all sources of standing water by emptying potential water-holding yard items, including pots, buckets and wheelbarrows weekly. Make sure to drain items more frequently following rainfall.

Pick Up After Your Pet

Pet waste can take a huge toll on the environment if it is not cleaned up properly. It is a contributing pollutant that affects our water quality. Support the efforts of Operation Clean Water by picking up after your dog. Forgot your pet waste bag? No problem! Pet waste stations are located throughout the city. Learn more.

Don't Be Trashy

#DontBeTrashy! Litter can clog stormwater drains and worsen flooding, harming water quality and marine life. To help, dispose of trash properly and use marked recycling receptacles.

Let's all do our part to keep our beautiful Miami Beach community clean.

Fair Housing Spotlight

You will often hear housing experts say that fair housing laws apply to virtually all housing transactions, but exactly what does this mean? Well, when housing experts say virtually all transactions, they mean 99% of all housing transactions are covered by fair housing law. Here is a list of transactions that are fully covered under these laws.

The sale of property, rent/lease of property, acquiring homeowners’ insurance, home/property value appraisals, zoning, rental property maintenance repairs and the process of acquiring a mortgage are all transactions covered under fair housing law. For more information or to make a fair housing complaint please give Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence (HOPE), Inc. a call at 305.651.4673.
