Cleveland Utilities Water Loss Protection Program Fees Adjustment Effective July 1, 2025

Cleveland Utilities (CU) is committed to ensuring the highest standards of service and protection for its valued customers. In line with this commitment, Cleveland Utilities offers a Water Loss Program designed to help customers with the potentially high and unexpected repairs/costs associated with water leaks. Effective July 1, 2025, CU is announcing an adjustment to the associated fees for this program. These changes are necessary to continue offering robust protection amidst rising costs.


Since the inception of the Water Loss Program in April of 2020, the price has held steady. CU takes rate increases seriously and only implements change when necessary. This is the public utility model, working hard to keep rates as low as possible.


Basic Water Loss Protection (Opt-Out Program)
The Basic Water Loss Protection Program will increase from $1.00 per month to $2.00 per month effective July 1, 2025. Basic coverage is designed to safeguard customers against unexpected water loss, ensuring greater peace of mind. All customers are automatically enrolled in the basic program and will experience the $1.00 increase unless they have previously opted out.  Customers who have opted out of the basic program but wish to take advantage of this added protection can re-enroll by contacting Cleveland Utilities. 


Enhanced Water Loss Protection Program (Opt-In Program)
For those seeking additional coverage, Cleveland Utilities offers an optional Advanced Water Loss Protection Program. Effective July 1, 2025, the fee for this program will increase from $10.00 per month to $15.00 per month. Customers currently enrolled in the Enhanced Program will experience the $5.00 increase automatically. However, customers always have the option to continue with extra protection or disenroll from the program.


For those interested in additional information or assistance with enrollment options, Cleveland Utilities Customer Service Team is available at (423) 472-4521 to provide support and assist with any questions. Details of the program offerings can be found at https://www.clevelandutilities.com/water-loss-program


If customers don’t participate in either option, and a leak occurs, they will be responsible for the bill, repairs, and any other costs that may occur.


Cleveland Utilities thanks its customers for their understanding and continued partnership.

Cleveland, Tenn.- December 22, 2025 — The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Cleveland Utilities are proud to announce a significant energy efficiency milestone at the Horizon Square Preservation Apartment Complex. This is a multi-family complex located on Georgetown Road NW. In recognition of the property’s commitment to reducing energy use and improving resident comfort, TVA and Cleveland Utilities are awarding a $31,500 rebate following the replacement of 63 HVAC systems at the complex.

The HVAC upgrade is expected to deliver substantial energy savings, with an estimated 46,256 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of gross energy savings in the first year alone. This rebate underscores TVA and Cleveland Utilities’ shared commitment to advancing energy efficiency across the region—helping property owners lower operating costs while providing residents with a more comfortable and sustainable living environment. “We are proud to support projects like Horizon Square Preservation that not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also contribute to a more sustainable future,” said Dan Pratt, TVA Senior Vice President of Customer & Stakeholder Relations. “This collaboration showcases our commitment to energy efficiency and highlights the substantial savings we can achieve together.” We are proud to partner with TVA to award this rebate to our customer and recognize their commitment to energy efficiency,” said Tim O.
