Cleveland's water department produces a fine product: Clean, crisp tap water. But customer service woes, an aging network of underground pipes and a stiff increase in rates have many customers howling.

Guests

Mayor Dennis Clough, Westlake
Darnell Brown, Chief Operating Officer, City of Cleveland
Julius Ciaccia, executive director, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District
Mayor Don Kuchta, Macedonia
