The "Advisory Committee to Address Water Conservation Issues and Alternative Water Supplies for the Development Community" is a stakeholder group that includes businesses, home builders, environmentalists, trade organizations, the landscape irrigation industry, nurseries, farmers, state agencies, county departments and the participation of the general public through a series of public meetings. 

Originally formed to provide recommendations for the development of a new ordinance requiring Water Use Efficiency Standards for New Development, the Advisory Committee also reviewed the draft document for a new Water-Use Efficiency Standards Manual.

Learn more about the new construction requirements by reading the Water-Use Efficiency Standards Manual as developed by the Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Department. It contains the recommendations from the Advisory Committee for both indoor and outdoor water use.
