WESTLAKE, Ohio (WOIO) — Some customers in the northwestern portion of Cleveland Water’s service area may be experiencing discolored water.

This is due to low levels of oxygen in Lake Erie, causing excess minerals to dissolve into the water entering their Crown Treatment Plant in Westlake. There are no health concerns or drinking water advisories. The water is safe to use, according to the Cleveland Water Department.

They have adjusted their water treatment methods accordingly. While the water is clear, leaving their plant, some remnants can still be found in their distribution system. They are working to resolve the discoloration as quickly as possible. Crews are flushing hydrants throughout the affected area in an effort to remove the remaining amount.
