Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly for residential meters 1 inch and smaller; larger meters are read and billed quarterly.
- Rate structure
- Metered water rates with service and volume charges; residential sewer rates and the flat non-municipal-water sewer charge of $82.99 monthly apply under 2026 code provisions.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Akron sewer charges are separate from water and may be based on municipal water use; customers without municipal water can be charged a flat $82.99 monthly sewer rate effective May 1, 2026.
- Meter reading
- Residential meters 1 inch and smaller are read monthly; larger meters are read quarterly, with estimated bills when actual readings are unavailable.
- New-account deposit
- A deposit is required before a new meter is set or water is turned on, and before a new customer assumes continuing-service billing; the reviewed code did not expose a single universal dollar amount.
