Health and Safety Reminders

The Cleveland Department of Public Health (CDPH) continues to monitor air quality standards as community groups push for the adoption of the updated 2026 Air Quality Code. Furthermore, the Division of Water advises residents that while recent boil advisories in the Brunswick area have been lifted, homeowners should continue to follow "Protect Your Pipes" protocols during any late-season freezing temperatures to prevent internal plumbing failures.
