Water remetering is the process used in multi-unit buildings to resell water service purchased from the Water and Sewer Department (WASD) through the use of a submeter.
To apply for a Water remetering license at its most basic:
- Each unit must install a submeter and provide copies of its plumbing and electrical permits.
- Properties that have been remetered and companies that bill remetered properties must register with Miami-Dade County.
- Each submeter has a $5 annual registration fee
For all intents and purposes water remetering means that each unit will be billed by the property owner (in this case it would be the HOA) based on its submeter readings and the property owner will pay the Water and Sewer Department based on its Master meter reading.
