The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) has detailed its public-facing initiatives for education, community involvement, and infrastructure support. According to records posted by the district on September 19, 2026, the programs target residents, public officials, and community groups with resources related to clean water. ## Educational Resources and Media The sewer district lists three educational campaigns for residents: 'Healthy Home For Kids,' 'Pitch Those Pills!,' and 'Pick Up Poop! Materials.' These programs are designed to inform the public about household-level actions that can affect water quality. In addition to these campaigns, the district provides access to a 'Clean Water Works journal archive' and 'Clean Water Works Podcast and TV archives.' NEORSD also lists the availability of 'Curricula, Materials and Certified Educators' for schools and groups. The district’s website provides a function for the public to 'Request a Tour or Speaker,' offering direct engagement with district operations. ## Community Engagement and Events NEORSD documents outline avenues for direct community involvement, including a 'Good Neighbor Ambassadors' program, a 'Cleveland STEP Community Involvement' program, and a 'Community Relations sponsorship application' for local group partnerships. A central public outreach event listed is the 'Clean Water Fest,' which was scheduled for September 19, 2026. The district also uses 'Media Partnerships and Ad Buys' to disseminate its message. For real-time information, the district offers 'CSO Alerts,' which provide a map and status of combined sewer overflows, and updates on 'Beaches and water quality.' ## Stormwater and Infrastructure Programs NEORSD offers programs targeted at municipal-level infrastructure. The district provides 'Community Stormwater Resources' for public officials, which include two financial initiatives: a 'Community Cost-Share Program' and a 'Member Community Infrastructure Program (MCIP).' These programs are designed to assist member communities with stormwater management projects. To keep officials informed, the district also maintains a 'Government Affairs Bulletin archives.' ## Records Lack Financial, Performance Details The September 19, 2026, district records list these programs but do not specify the budget allocated to the educational and community initiatives.
