Rates & Fees
Cleveland Water is funded by the rates our customers pay. These rates directly support the necessary infrastructure investments and service improvements that make it possible for us to deliver safe, reliable water when and where you need it. This includes modernizing our water treatment plants, funding water main replacement projects, and installing smart meters in homes and businesses throughout the service area.
Cleveland Water rates have two components. A fixed charge, based on the size of your water meter, and a consumption charge, based on how much water you use.
Monthly Fixed Charge
The fixed charge is based on the size of the water meter at your home or business. Most residential customers have a meter size between 5/8 inch and 1 inch.

Monthly Consumption Charge
The consumption charge is based on the amount of water you use and is measured in thousand cubic feet (MCF). 1 MCF = 7,480 gallons of water. The rate for the consumption charge is determined by the distance and elevation of your property from Lake Erie. Find Your Water Rate Zone.
