Stormwater Utility

The City of Cleveland has implemented a stormwater utility funding program to address long-standing flooding issues that impact local citizens. In response to the flooding, the City partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers to develop a flood study to identify potential flood reduction projects to protect the citizens of Cleveland. The stormwater utility funds will go toward implementing these projects. In addition, the City will also use the funds that are generated to comply with Federal Clean Water Act requirements to improve the quality of water in local streams.Cleveland Stormwater Division
