  • Aurora runs two entirely separate public water systems side by side: this one, buying Lake Erie water from Cleveland, and an Aurora Portage system fed by a Coit Road well field and softened by ion exchange at Portage…
  • The two Aurora systems are joined by an auxiliary connection that is barely used: 0 gallons passed through it in 2025, and it runs about one day in an average year.
  • Aurora's Cleveland-system intakes are spread across 15 miles of Lake Erie, each several miles from shore, deliberately placed to stay clear of Cuyahoga and Rocky River runoff.
  • Both of Aurora's distribution systems report no lead service lines, no galvanized lines requiring replacement, and no lines of unknown material - each with its own public service line inventory map.

Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Aurora's Cleveland-system water is Lake Erie surface water. Cleveland Water draws it from four intakes in the Central Basin spread over 15 miles of shoreline, each 3 to 5 miles offshore where the water is cleaner and least affected by tributary runoff and coastal activity. Cleveland treats it with…

What it costs

$8.54 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $34 a month for water.

Aurora prices water per MCF, meaning 1,000 CUBIC FEET (7,480 gallons) - not per 1,000 gallons. The rate is $63.91 per MCF effective January 1, 2026, which is $8.54 per 1,000…

Supply stress

Lake Erie is a large, continuously replenished surface source, and Ohio EPA rates Cleveland Water's source water as having LOW susceptibility to contamination specifically because the four intakes sit 3 to 5 miles offshore, which greatly minimizes potential contamination from the Cuyahoga River, the Rocky River and nearshore sources.…

Mostly estimated. Only 2% of these days come from a gauge standing inside 44202 (Aurora) - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,853 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
