DALLAS, April 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) was selected by
the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) to design
upgrades for the county's three wastewater treatment plants
benefitting nearly 2.4 million residents and hundreds of thousands
of visitors each year.
Under the six-year professional services agreement, Jacobs will

department's wastewater treatments plants and system.
Jacobs will provide WASD with the opportunity to apply

costs for a smarter, more reliable treatment system for the
future."

and Sewer Department to ensure that our wastewater system keeps
pace with the dynamic growth of Miami-Dade County and affords a
resilient and robust infrastructure to protect the health and
safety of our residents and visitors for decades to come," said
Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department Director Roy Coley.
Jacobs' selection builds on a 50-year relationship with
Miami-Dade County and comprehensive experience with the Water and
Sewer Department's wastewater system, most recently from acting as
owner's representative for the $2.7
