Residential

  • Miami-Dade explicitly includes lawn irrigation systems in the protected customer mix, which makes residential irrigation a real local compliance topic.
  • Straight residential potable service is not the strongest page angle unless irrigation or another hazard exists.
Commercial focus

Commercial and managed properties

  • Miami-Dade names several commercial and institutional hazard classes directly, which makes the page commercially useful.
