Reclaimed swampland, farmed first
Robert Parsell Davie bought forty-four square miles of drained swamp in 1909 to farm it. The land was made usable by drainage, and the water table it was drained from is still there.

Who actually supplies water and sewer in Davie?
There is no single answer, and the town says so itself. Davie states that it is serviced by several water and sewer utility providers and publishes an address lookup map rather than a name, because Town of Davie Utilities serves much of the town while other parts are served by neighboring municipalities such as Sunrise, or by private utilities.
That is not a piece of trivia. It decides who owns the pipe at your property boundary, who has to be notified, and who is responsible for the run between your building and the main. In most cities that question has one answer. Here it has to be asked per parcel, and it should be asked before a shovel goes in rather than after.
The rest follows from the ground. Davie was built on forty-four square miles of reclaimed swampland, drained by canal, and the town runs fifty-nine wastewater pump stations because gravity alone does not move sewage across land this flat.
What is under these houses
Thirty-five square miles, and no single kind of house
Davie is one of the largest municipalities in Broward by area, which is exactly why its infrastructure is not uniform.
Fifty-nine pump stations
Town utilities run two water plants, one wastewater plant and one water reclamation facility, with fifty-nine wastewater pump stations across more than ten thousand accounts. That is what flat ground costs.
Several utilities, one town
The town publishes a service-area map instead of a utility name, and keeps a separate FAQ about Sunrise water and sewer service inside Davie. Your provider is a property question.
Ranches beside subdivisions
Davie keeps a working equestrian character and many of its historic buildings are ranches. A repipe on a 1960s ranch and a repipe in a 2000s subdivision are different jobs in the same town.
Permitted work is specific here
The Building Division requires permits for new plumbing, repipes, water heater changeouts, fixture relocations and gas piping, and since January 2026 submissions go through the Online Application Submittal system.
How it fails here
The three calls this town generates
What follows from flat, drained ground and a town with more than one utility.
A lateral that will not stay clear
On a large lot the run from the house to the main is long, and it crosses ground that was drained rather than drained naturally. Roots here never go dormant, so a hairline crack becomes a root mass in one season rather than several.
Ask for a camera, not another cable.
Sewer line repairDamp that appears far from anything
Flat ground with a shallow table carries an escaping slab leak sideways through fill. On a wide lot that can mean the wet patch is a room away from the break, or outside the building entirely.
Have it located before anything is opened.
Leak detectionNobody is sure whose pipe it is
With several utilities inside one town, the boundary question genuinely has more than one answer. Establishing it first is the difference between a repair and an argument.
Have the parcel checked before digging.

Neighborhoods across the town, and what changes between them
Davie is big enough that the street name genuinely matters.
Forest Ridge
The largest neighborhood in town, roughly 1,558 homes across nine sub-communities. One name covers several build dates, so the era of the pipe under it is not a single answer.
Shenandoah
An established community on large lots, which means a long run from the meter to the house and a leak in that run that never shows up indoors.
Rolling Hills
A golf community mixing condominiums, townhouses and single-family homes. Three building types means three different answers to where your shut-off is.
Ivanhoe Estates
Central Davie on large lots, close enough to the town core to be on municipal service and spread out enough for the site run to be the weak point.

Moti gave exceptional service ! He arrived quickly and was done less than an hour ! Will use this company again
Had a really slow drain in my bathroom and it was driving me crazy. The guy who came out was super chill and found a bunch of hair and gunk clogging it up. He cleared it out in like 20 minutes, and now it’s draining faster than before! …
Questions
Davie, specifically
How do I find out which utility serves my house?
The town publishes a utility service area map you search by address, which exists precisely because the answer is not the same across Davie. If you are not sure, we check it as part of the call rather than guessing.
Does a water heater changeout need a permit in Davie?
Yes. The Building Division lists water heater changeouts alongside repipes, new plumbing, fixture relocations and gas piping as permitted work, and submittals go through the town’s online system.
My lot is large. Why does that change the job?
Because the run between the meter and the house, and between the house and the main, is longer than in a compact subdivision. Long runs fail in the middle where nothing is visible, so locating comes before opening ground.
Do you cover the western acreage as well as the subdivisions?
Yes. Davie covers almost thirty-five square miles and the whole town is inside the service area. What changes out west is that lots are bigger, runs are longer and site work matters more than fixture work.
Do you really answer at three in the morning?
Yes, by a person, including weekends and holidays. The company states its dispatch target is a licensed plumber en route within 60 minutes anywhere in the three counties.
