Want your water bill to drop by $114 a year?


At City Council’s Committee meeting on Monday evening, the City Manager and staff presented Council with two choices for the City’s debt ridden water system.  Join 52 other Cuyahoga County communities in becoming a Direct Service community of the regional Cleveland Water District (and LOWER the water rate as a result) or raise the water rate (and hope we can fix enough of the systems problems to make it profitable for the City). To view/learn more about these two options, please click on the link below.


Becoming a Direct Service community will save the average Cleveland Heights residential customer $114.00 yearly during the “transition period” and will then save $331.00 yearly for the post “transition period”.  The $114.00 a year savings in our water bill is significant and will benefit seniors, those on a fixed income and everyone that pays a water bill in Cleveland Heights.

A very important FACT: Cleveland Water currently provides ALL of Cleveland Heights’ residence and businesses their water. Therefore, the QUALITY of the water will remain the same, as it is the same water supplier (Cleveland Water) and the same pipes that are underground. Additionally, over the next 9 years, the Cleveland Water Department plans to spend $237 million upgrading the regions water mains! 

Cleveland Water Department has posted an informative and straight forward FAQ “Questions Answered for Cleveland Heights Residents and Businesses”. (to learn more, please click on the link below)

    Low Income Cleveland Hts residents currently do not receive a discount on their water bills. Cleveland Water gives a 40% discount for low income homeowners, as well a conservation program, to save water usage, which includes repairs on water lines.
    Switching to Cleveland Water, may help many struggling families in our community.
