FAQs
If I am in an area designed for central wastewater service will I be required to connect?
Where central wastewater service is available, per Monroe County Code, all developed properties are required to connect the central system.
If my current onsite system meets the required Best Available Technology (BAT) standards do I have to connect to the central wastewater system?
All developed properties within a hot spot are required to connect to the central system regardless of having an existing BAT compliant system. Properties with a BAT compliant system in cold spot areas do not need to connect to the system, or upgrade their existing wastewater system, and only need to maintain their system in order to remain compliant with the State mandate. These properties will not be assessed.
I have a commercial property that uses a lot of potable water for irrigation. Will my assessment calculation include this consumption?
Commercial properties that have excessive potable water use that does not return to the wastewater system may want to consider applying for an irrigation meter. Consumption from irrigation meters will not be considered in the assessment calculation. Please call the FKAA at (305) 296‐2454 for details on obtaining an irrigation meter.
