Water

Cleveland Water, moderate hardness

The city's Service Department sends drinking water problems and main leaks to the Cleveland Division of Water, which supplies Strongsville. Cleveland Water's 2025 report puts average hardness at 117 mg/L, about 7 grains per gallon, so a tank still builds some scale over the years. Its 90th percentile lead result was 3.15 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level.

1980s houses, mostly owners

Census estimates put the median Strongsville home at 1980. Only about 3% were built before 1940 and about 14% since 2000. About 80% are detached houses and about 18% of households rent. Gas heats about 79% of homes and electricity about 19%.

Permits

Plumbing permits and a 24-hour inspection notice

Strongsville's Building Department lists plumbing and HVAC work among the projects that need a permit, and it takes applications through its online iWorq portal or in person on weekdays. Contractors must register with the city before a permit is issued; plumbing and HVAC contractors file a $10,000 bond and a copy of their State of Ohio license. Homeowners can get a permit only for work they do themselves on their own home.

Inspections must be called in to 440-580-3105 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. with at least 24 hours' notice, and the department asks people not to leave inspection requests on voicemail.

Old tanks

Curbside appliance pickup

Republic Waste collects Strongsville's trash. The city says appliances can be left at the curb on your regular trash day; anything with Freon has to have it removed by a certified professional and be tagged first, or Republic won't take it. For questions, call Republic at (440) 572-7590.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Strongsville homes

Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
Gas smell? Leave the house, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside, using the emergency number on your gas bill. Strongsville buys gas supply through NOPEC, but the city says delivery and repairs stay with your local utility.
