Community Information Sheet for April 8, 2024 Eclipse

On April 8th, Cuyahoga County communities will be in the path of the total solar eclipse – promising nearly four minutes of darkness in the middle of the afternoon as the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, an event that won’t happen here again until the year 2444.  It is anticipated that we will have many visitors to the region.  This will more than likely result in parking, traffic and related issues.  We anticipate a significant number of residents and visitors will find their way to our parks.  We encourage residents to travel on foot or by bicycle, if possible.  Kindness, respect and patience will be the words of the day.  Below you will find important information regarding City operations for that day.  While we are anticipating large crowds it is all weather dependent, of course.

• 911 is for emergency calls only, not for information purposes.  Questions should be directed to 440-331-0600 or 440-331-1234.

• Refuse collection will be delayed one day the week of April 8, as it will be difficult to safely collect refuse during the eclipse traffic.

• Service Dept personnel will be deployed to our parks to serve as park attendants for the day.  In addition, Rocky River Police Department personnel will also have a presence in the parks.

• The Rocky River Police Department’s Bike Patrol will be out and about in the City of Rocky River, as well as the Marine Patrol on the river and lakeshore. Click here for boating safety tips.

Sewer Billing Dates

The City recently mailed the quarterly sanitary sewer bills dated March 1, 2024 to Rocky River property owners.  Please watch for the arrival in your mailbox.

Since the March 31 due date printed on the bill falls on a weekend, the City will accept payments through 4:30 p.m. on the next business day (Monday, April 1, 2024) without penalty.   

Residential Sanitary Sewer Summer Credit Program

Eligible residents who apply will be given a credit of one MCF (thousand cubic feet) in the amount of the current sanitary sewer rate of $38.00 per MCF.  The Credit will appear on the September 1st sewer bill which covers the service period of June to August.

Residents with a second water meter (also known as a deduct meter) already installed on an irrigation system are not eligible under this Program; the water consumption measured by the second water meter is already deducted from the usage before the sanitary sewer charges are calculated.
