Cleveland does not run a municipal recycled-water network for irrigation, but the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District promotes rain barrels, cisterns, and green stormwater infrastructure to reuse rainwater on private property.
Unlike Western recycled-water systems, Cleveland's water reuse focus is on stormwater capture rather than treated wastewater redistribution. NEORSD's Project Clean Lake and stormwater fee credit program reward property owners who install rain gardens, bioswales, cisterns, and permeable pavement under the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie restoration goals tied to the 1972 Clean Water Act and 1969 Cuyahoga River fire legacy.
Reuse programs are voluntary and incentive-based. NEORSD stormwater fees apply based on impervious area; credits reduce the fee for qualifying improvements.
