Outside the city it is our policy to pay one-half the cost of the waterline extension with the customer providing the other half. Construction outside the City of Cleveland shall apply only to extensions of six-inch diameter or larger. Line extension of less than six-inch diameter will be allowed only where sound engineering judgment justifies the smaller diameter. This policy also applies to recently annexed areas if the customers wish to receive service before the annexation plan of services. The policy of shared cost applies only to waterline extension along approved county roads, and expressly does not apply to waterline extension within private development projects.
Sewer service is provided to all existing property within the city.
If the property has recently been annexed we generally have eight years to provide service. When the property is being subdivided or developed internally the developer must pay all expense for extensions within the property. Random sewer extension in newly annexed areas is generally discouraged in order to comply with the plan of services due to the expense of installing sewers. Sewer extensions outside the city are considered on a case by case basic and when approved must be furnished at the expense of the customer.
