This waterway information is courtesy of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) from its Greater Cleveland Area Environmental Water Quality Assessment Report for 1999-2002. |
The Chagrin River has a total length of 48 miles with a drainage area of 267 square miles. The land use is primarily rural with a low density of residential housing.
Communities located in the Chagrin River drainage area include: Aurora, Chagrin Falls, Chesterland, Eastlake, Mayfield Heights, the Village of Mayfield, Newbury, Solon, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, and several other eastern suburbs of Cleveland.
Development pressures in the drainage area are potential causes of degradation of the habitat. However, the majority of the Chagrin River has good exceptional water quality with a healthy biological community.
