Water

Softened well water from Portage County

Streetsboro once pumped its own wells. Today the city buys groundwater from Portage County Water Resources, which treats it at the Shalersville plant with iron removal, filtration, disinfection and softening. The city's 2025 report puts the average hardness at 148 ppm. Portage County also has emergency connections to Cleveland, Ravenna and Tallmadge, and none of that water was needed in 2025.

The water department answers (330) 626-4942, and the water supervisor is at (330) 626-2856.

Lead lines

No lead lines on record

The city says its distribution system has no lead, galvanized requiring replacement or unknown service lines, based on construction standards, meter inspections and historical records. Lead was not detected in any of the 30 homes sampled in 2025.

Homes

Newer homes, mixed housing

The median Streetsboro home was built in 1991, and about 33% date from 2000 or later. About 55% of homes are detached houses, about 22% are in buildings with five or more units, and about 8% are mobile homes. About 34% of households rent. Gas heats about 75% of homes and electricity about 21%. Enbridge Gas Ohio lists Streetsboro among the communities it serves.

When the city flushes hydrants, it asks residents not to use hot water until any discolored water clears, so the sediment doesn't get drawn into the water heater. The water department posts the flushing schedule on the city website.

Permits

$55 permit, registered contractors

The city's residential fee schedule lists $55 for a water heater replacement permit, and the building department adds the 1% state fee to permits. Contractors have to be registered with the city. The building office is at (330) 626-6069.
