Cleveland Water Pollution Control (WPC)

Cleveland Water Pollution Control is the sewer maintenance division and stormwater manager for the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
We are responsible for 1,436 miles of underground sewer pipes, more than 43,500 catch basins and storm drains, 11 pump stations, two stormwater detention basins and other parts of Cleveland's  sewer infrastructure.

Our goal is to minimize or eliminate potential street and basement flooding and control the amount of contaminants that could flow to local waterways, including the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie.

The sewer collection system transfers sanitary sewage and stormwater from its points of origin to three local wastewater treatment facilities owned and operated by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.

As stormwater manager, WPC also is charged with managing and supervising matters relating to the elimination, control and regulation of water pollution within the City of Cleveland.
