Cleveland, OH water solutions

Cleveland water quality: now

Today, Cleveland represents the tenth largest public water system in the United States. The city provides over 300 million gallons of water to over 1.45 million people in Cuyahoga and its four surrounding counties. Cleveland continues to source its water from four intakes located offshore in Lake Erie’s Central Basin. About 90% of the water entering Lake Erie flows down the Detroit River from Lake St. Clair, and another 4% flows from the Maumee River.

In operation for over 150 years, Cleveland’s water system still has many of its original water mains constructed of cast iron. These older pipes are prone to corrosion and biofilm contamination, which create clusters of pipe deterioration and bacteria, resulting in a “rotten egg” taste and smell. Municipal water departments add high levels of chlorine to combat corrosion and contamination.

The Cleveland Water Public Water System monitors and treats Cleveland tap water to meet quality standards. However, water traveling over the land or through the ground often becomes exposed to runoff, sediment, chemical contamination, and microbial matter, and no single technique can adequately treat all pollutants. A recent water quality report shows that Cleveland drinking water may still contain at least small amounts of some contaminants such as soil runoff, fluoride, and halo acetic acids.
