Water Treatment in Cleveland, NC

What Town of Cleveland's latest water quality report says, and what it means for a Cleveland home.

What this means for your home

Cleveland is inside Town of Cleveland's service area on the state's water-system map.

  • Town of Cleveland's report doesn't list hardness. Most reservoir-fed systems in this region are soft, but a quick hardness test at your tap is the only way to know before anyone recommends a softener.
  • 47.3% of homes in Cleveland were built before 1980. EPA notes homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead in their plumbing, so a certified-lab lead test at the tap is a sensible first step in an older home.

Cleveland water questions

Who supplies water in Cleveland?

Cleveland is inside Town of Cleveland's service area on the state's water-system map. Its supply is groundwater (wells). EPA's registry lists it serving about 872 people.

Do homes in Rowan County use private wells?

Many homes outside town water lines do. In state testing of private wells in Rowan County, 1.01% of 2,374 private wells tested (24 wells) were above the 10 µg/L EPA drinking water standard (MCL) for arsenic. These figures describe the wells that were tested, not every well in the county.

How old are homes in Cleveland, and does that matter for water?

Census estimates put 47.3% of Cleveland homes as built before 1980. Lead usually comes from a home's own plumbing, not the utility, so in older homes a certified-lab lead test at the tap is the honest starting point.
