MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Automotive Repairs:
The city has a fleet of 160 pieces of rolling stock
Public Works / CIP
Last year request for repairs totaled 129, compared to 769 the previous year of which 117 were
successfully repaired. This demonstrates a vast improvement in our repairs and maintenance
operations.
Our challenge is the 60% of our fleet is beyond economical repair, and with three technicians these
tasks is overwhelming.
Pump Stations:
We relined six (6) linier miles of our gravity sewer system, I service areas 4, 5, 7, and 8.
Our goal is to be at 100% compliant by November 2020.
Our challenge is to stick relining of our gravity mains which is plagued with excessive inflow/
infiltration due to aged infrastructure this takes a toll on the longevity of pump stations.
Utility Billing Transition:
We have transitioned 98% of our utility billing to Miami-Dade County.
Of the 5,603 water meters in the distribution system, 332, are left to be replaced at an estimated
cost of $68,000.
Total number of meters in our system = 5,603
Total number of meters remaining to be replaced = 332 at a cost of $68,000.
Total number of meters replaced to date= 5,271.
