Munroe Falls City

• Munroe Falls has never treated a drop of its own water — it buys 100% from Cuyahoga Falls and describes itself flatly as 'a distribution system.'
• The plant that supplies it isn't in Munroe Falls, but its address is: the Cuyahoga Falls water treatment plant sits at 2028 Munroe Falls Ave.
• The city pumps at night. Its station on Munroe Falls Ave moved an average of 297,272 gallons every night in 2025 into a 1.5-million-gallon reservoir behind a retirement center and a 200,000-gallon tower on Gaylord Drive.
• In March 2026 Cuyahoga Falls told Munroe Falls it had been under-billing it and handed over a $281,178 back-bill for 2024-25; residents are paying it off at $1.84 per service per month for five years, on top of a…
• The namesake dam, built in 1903 to replace an 1817 wooden one, came out entirely in 2005-06 once crews discovered a natural rock ledge sitting underneath it.

• 1809About forty settlers arrive, among them Francis Kelsey and William Stow; Kelsey builds a sawmill on the south bank of the Cuyahoga River and a gristmill goes up on the north bank. The settlement is…
• 1817A wooden dam is built to power both mills and the village is renamed Florence.
• 1836William and Edmund Munroe of Boston buy the two mills and about 250 acres around them and lay out a new village, which they name Munroe Falls.
• 1838Munroe Falls is incorporated on October 26.
• 1903A more substantial dam replaces the earlier structure.
• 2005-2006The Munroe Falls dam is removed for river restoration after low oxygen levels in the Cuyahoga River were traced largely to the stagnant pool behind it; the entire dam came out once workers found a…

How it is treated

Munroe Falls treats no water. It is a distribution system that buys finished water from the City of Cuyahoga Falls, whose treatment plant sits at 2028 Munroe Falls Ave. Cuyahoga Falls draws groundwater from a well field in Water Works Park on the south bank of the Cuyahoga River — 15 wells per the…

Low on quantity, moderate on source vulnerability, and sharply elevated on cost. The buried-valley sand and gravel aquifer is plentiful and river-recharged, but Ohio EPA's drinking water source assessment rates it highly susceptible to contamination: depth to water is only 4 to 32 feet, there is no low-permeability protective layer…

Sanitary

Sanitary sewer service in Munroe Falls is maintained by the Summit County Department of Sanitary Sewer Services (DOSSS), 330-926-2400, not by the city or by Cuyahoga Falls. The county sewer bill is based on the customer's water usage, so a high water bill produces a high sewer bill.

Storm

The city bills each property a Stormwater Maintenance Fee, and stormwater drainage questions are handled through Summit Soil and Water Conservation District material carried on the city site. No CSO inventory or flooding data is published.
