We partnering with organizations, institutions and community leaders, getting involved with our neighborhoods, schools, and residents in an effort to keep our Great Lake great and our communities strong. Below are some of our current partnerships.


Cleveland Metroparks

In 2013, the Sewer District partnered with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health and WKYC TV-3 to educate viewers about water quality at area beaches, and swimming safety updates were posted via Twitter. In addition, a new partnership with Cleveland Metroparks that included the District purchasing beach-cleaning machines resulted in better overall quality for Euclid Beach and Edgewater Park Also in 2013, the District and Metroparks celebrated the dedication of the Watershed Stewardship Center at West Creek, in Parma. The District supported the center with $3 million towards construction and permanent on-site staff. The Center received a 2013 “Award of Excellence” from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association, and is an opportunity to expand the District’s watershed- and environmental-education efforts.

Sustainable Cleveland

Since 2011, Sustainable Cleveland has focused each year on a key area (such as Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources) fundamental to a sustainable economy. Sustainable Cleveland’s focus in 2015 is Clean Water, and the Sewer District is serving as a partner in the all-year celebration of our region’s water resources and the work it takes to protect them. Working with the Cleveland Water Alliance and Cleveland Division of Water, we are heightening the public’s awareness of the gift of clean water. The Sewer District celebrates clean water every year, every day!

Student programs and Cleveland schools

One component of the Sewer District’s Strategic Plan is developing partnerships to attract future talent. Our student programs enhance, subsidize, and facilitate the education of students in Cleveland. We hope to encourage interest in technical disciplines and career possibilities at the Sewer District, and we consider our involvement to be an investment in the future prosperity of our region. The District has maintained collaborative projects with Cleveland-area schools, and currently works with the Cleveland Rowing Foundation to educate kids about watersheds by getting them out on the water. Dominion and the District serve as lead sponsors of the ACE Mentor Program of Cleveland, introducing Collinwood High School students to concepts in architecture, construction, and engineering. In addition, the District offers work opportunities for students in St. Martin de Porres High School’s Corporate Work Study Program and Trinity High School’s Pre-Professional Internship Program.
