Lakewood stormwater is managed by NEORSD (Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District) under a regional fee based on impervious surface. Typical single-family fee is 5.15 dollars per month.
NEORSD took over regional stormwater management in 2010 after an Ohio Supreme Court decision (State ex rel. City of Lakewood v. NEORSD, 2015-Ohio-3258). Lakewood residents pay a stormwater fee calculated on impervious area tier: Tier 1 (under 2,000 sf) = 2.85, Tier 2 (2,001-4,000 sf) = 5.15, Tier 3 (over 4,000 sf) = 8.95 per month. Credit programs reduce the fee for rain gardens, rain barrels, and pervious pavement. Lakewood participates in NEORSDs Green Infrastructure grant program.
