During a heatwave, some residents may take it upon themselves to open hydrants in an effort to beat the heat. While we agree that Cleveland Water is cool and refreshing, opening hydrants can be dangerous, costly, and wasteful.
We work hard to make sure the drinking water delivered to your home or business is safe at all times. One way we do this is by regulating backflow, which reduces the possible contamination of drinking water from other water sources.
Warmer months are often a time for home renovations and improvements. There is one simple precaution you should take before digging on your property: have your underground utility lines marked.
Utility scams tend to increase during the holiday season, which is why Utility Scam Awareness Day is recognized each year in November. Cleveland Water wants to make sure our customers are aware of what to look for in the event that someone shows up at or calls your home claiming to be a Cleveland Water employee.
Harsh winter weather is never convenient. But at Cleveland Water, we do everything we can to minimize the impact it may have on the treatment and delivery of your water.
Taking a drink of water from a garden hose on a hot summer day may be a fond childhood memory. But in reality, most outdoor faucets and garden hoses, especially those made prior to 2014, are not meant to be used for drinking water.
Cleveland Water supplies water to nearly 74,000 fire hydrants across the 70 communities we serve. Help us and local firefighters by not piling snow on hydrants when clearing your driveway or sidewalk.
