Water

Mosquito Creek Reservoir water

Warren Utility Services draws surface water from Mosquito Creek Reservoir and treats it at the city's own filtration plant, which held a current, unconditioned Ohio EPA license in 2025. The 2025 report doesn't list a hardness figure. Questions about water quality go to the city's lab at 330-841-2578.

The water department answers (330) 841-2531 during office hours, and its after-hours emergency line is (330) 841-2572.

Lead lines

Your side of the line is yours

In 2025 sampling, none of 30 homes tested was over the lead action level, and the 90th percentile result was 3.7 ppb. The city posts a service line inventory and an online survey so residents can report what their line is made of.

The city says owners pay for their own portion of the service line and that it has no financial help program for lead line replacement right now. If you tell the city you're replacing your portion of a lead line, it will replace its portion too. To check your line or schedule an inspection, call (330) 841-2702.

Homes

Older homes, mostly gas

The median Warren home was built in 1955, about 24% are older than 1940, and only about 4% date from 2000 or later. About 44% of households rent and about 71% of homes are detached houses. Gas heats about 86% of homes and electricity about 12%, so most water heaters here burn gas. Enbridge Gas Ohio lists Warren among the communities it serves.

Permits

City permits, drop-off for old tanks

Warren's Engineering, Planning and Building Department says repair, alteration and equipping work on a building needs a permit before it starts. The city plumbing inspector is at (330) 841-2615, and the department's main line is (330) 841-2562.

Old hot water tanks don't go out with curbside trash. The city takes them at its Environmental Services facility, 642 S. Park Ave., Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., or you can take one to the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste District facility. Environmental Services answers (330) 841-2561.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Warren homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
  3. Gas smell? Leave the house, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside. Enbridge Gas Ohio takes leak reports at 1-877-542-2630; if another company bills you, use the number on your bill.
