Water

One intake in Lake Erie

The city's 2025 water report says Conneaut gets its water from a single intake line that reaches about a third of a mile into Lake Erie from the treatment plant at 770 Lake Road. The city has no other source and no shared connection with another plant. Call the plant at 440.593.7437.

In 2025 testing, the 90th percentile for lead was 2.2 ppb, but one of 30 samples was over the 15 ppb action level, and one was over the copper action level. The city's service line inventory shows the material type for each address. The report lists two reporting violations in 2025, including a manganese sample lost in shipping during a winter storm, and says neither affected health.

Homes

Older houses on gas

Census estimates put the median Conneaut home at 1950, with about 40% built before 1940 and about 4% since 2000. About 83% are detached houses and about 29% of households rent. Gas heats about 83% of homes and electricity about 11%.
