Septic-to-sewer conversion in Kendall: the short answer

Kendall is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so sewer comes from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer, and you can check your own lot on the County's iWASD Connect map. Conversion is possible where a public sewer runs past the property, and unincorporated areas hold most of the county's septic systems: 78,064 parcels in the 2020 count.

Kendall itself is a Census-designated place rather than a city, so the County reports it inside unincorporated Miami-Dade. In that group, the 2018 study found 42,064 of 65,386 residential septic parcels, about 64%, already reaching peak groundwater within 42 inches of the surface. Kendall homes are typically from the 1970s, with a median build year of 1978.

Where a gravity sewer abuts the property, homestead single-family owners may qualify for up to $15,000 in grants or low-interest loans from the County. If you get a written notice that sewer is available, a working system has 365 days to connect under state law.
