Akron water bills are going up. Here’s what you need to know
Akron residents’ water bills will rise Jan. 1 and again in 2028 and 2029 as the city finances repairs and updates to its aging water system. The increases, which would initially be about $5 per month for an “average” home, would then go up to $6 per month the following two years, city officials said. Residents will first see the increase on their February 2027 bills.
