City of Cleveland Fixed Sewer Rates
Sewer rates help Cleveland Water Pollution Control (WPC) conduct daily maintenance and repairs to the city’s aging sewer infrastructure, including 11 pump stations.
Residential properties within the city of Cleveland are assessed a fixed sewer maintenance rate per month. Properties with larger meters are assessed at a higher rate. The funds also help us address sewer issues more proactively and better plan service to Cleveland residents and business owners.
Cleveland's sewer system includes approximately 1,436 miles of stormwater and wastewater lines. Currently, about 43% of those pipes are more that 100 years old. As this infrastructure continues to age, the risk of problems like pipe collapses increase, leading to street cave-ins, blockages, and even street or basement flooding.
A rate discount program is available for senior citizens or income-eligible customers who are homeowners and may need assistance. For more information about the Cleveland Homestead Program, go to Cleveland Homestead Program or call (216) 664-2513.
