Sewer Conversion and Lift Stations: the short answer
Where a public sewer runs past your property, connecting retires the septic tank for good. Miami-Dade estimates a typical conversion at about $15,000 and offers eligible homestead owners up to $15,000 in grants or low-interest loans. Lift stations move sewage where gravity cannot.
Once a utility notifies you in writing that sewer is available, Florida law gives a working septic system 365 days to connect. The work is a new lateral to the street, a plumbing permit, utility approval and a Department of Health permit to pump out and abandon the tank.
Lift stations and ejector pumps serve homes and buildings below the sewer or far from it; they need monitoring and service so the alarm is the exception. Jetting keeps sewer lines clear.
