Getting to know Cleveland
Cleveland Water runs four Lake Erie treatment plants: Baldwin, Crown, Garrett A. Morgan and Nottingham. The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District runs the Easterly, Westerly and Southerly wastewater plants. Contractors working in Cleveland must be bonded, insured and registered with the city.
Electricians and plumbers working in the city must also hold Ohio state licenses. Sewer permits from the city are required before digging in the street. Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie falls heaviest on the east side and eastern suburbs.
Older basements are prone to backups during heavy storms. Hard freezes are common from December through February.
Local utilities and rules
Cleveland Water draws from Lake Erie and treats it at four plants. Wastewater goes to the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. Cleveland Public Power or the Illuminating Company, depending on the street supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from Enbridge Gas Ohio. Building permits are handled by the Department of Building and Housing.
Questions about Cleveland
Who supplies water in Cleveland?
Cleveland Water draws from Lake Erie and treats it at four plants. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Cleveland Public Power or the Illuminating Company, depending on the street and natural gas from Enbridge Gas Ohio. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Cleveland need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Department of Building and Housing, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Ohio licenses commercial plumbing contractors at the state level, and cities license residential plumbers, so ask about both. Ohio licenses commercial electrical contractors at the state level, and many cities require that license for home work too. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
