Miami/SoFL sucks so much freshwater out of the aquifer that it is being replaced by saltwater filling the lowered pressure areas.

Indeed - it's called salt water intrusion and because of the density difference between salt and fresh water, it takes much more freshwater to push salt water out once it has encroached. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_intrusion
