All customers of the City of North Miami Beach’s water utility located within the City of Miami Gardens that were billed for water services and, in connection therewith, a 25% surcharge.

The City of Miami Gardens, on behalf of Miami Gardens water consumers, brought suit against the City of North Miami Beach alleging that for a period of time, the City of North Miami Beach did not operate a water sewer utility within its own boundaries, as required by section 180.191, Florida Statutes, because North Miami Beach and CH2M entered into an Agreement for NMB Water Operations, Maintenance, and Program Management Services dated May 22, 2017 (the “Water Operations Agreement”) and that, consequently, the City of North Miami Beach lost the ability under the statute to levy the 25% Surcharge.
