Water

Cleveland Water, Euclid sewer

Euclid's water comes from Cleveland Water, which bills the city's sewer charge on the same statement. Cleveland Water's 2025 report puts hardness at 105 to 130 mg/L, averaging 117. Euclid's 2026 sewer rate is $123.96 per MCF, or 7,500 gallons, with a monthly minimum, so a relief valve or tank that keeps leaking to a drain shows up on both lines of the bill.

Repair help

City grants for plumbing

The city's Housing Accessibility and Rehabilitation Grant, funded by federal CDBG money, gives income-qualifying homeowners up to $7,500 toward an eligible project, with a 25% owner match. Plumbing and electrical improvements are on its list of eligible work. Funds are first-come, first-served; call Community Development at 216-289-8140.

Homes

Older homes, many renters

Census estimates put the median Euclid home at 1956, with only about 2% built since 2000. About 56% are detached houses, about 31% are in buildings with five or more units, and about 54% of households rent. Gas heats about 78% of homes and electricity about 19%.

Permits

City plumbing permits, Kimble pickup

Euclid's Building and Housing Department issues residential plumbing permits, and its application asks for the number of hot water tanks, tankless heaters or boilers. Residential permits are at 216-289-2700, ext. 3904.

Kimble collects Euclid trash under city contract, and bulk items go out on your regular trash day if set out properly. Doors must come off any appliance that seals shut. Cans can go out after 6 p.m. the evening before in daylight saving time, after 4 p.m. in standard time, or before 7 a.m. on collection day; earlier set-outs can draw a $75 fine.
