Developers of land in areas of Miami-Dade County where there are wellfields would have to agree with Miami-Dade County to property covenants that is generally a binding agreement made between a property owner and Miami-Dade County that restricts the use of that property. This may be the only way in which a certain type of activity may be permitted with a property located in the "cone of influence" of a well.

The land use restrictions requiring covenants can be broken down into three categories;

1) Restricted land use within a Wellfield Protection Area,

2) Restricted Land use due to the use of a septic tank,

3) Restricted Land Use to protect a natural resource.
