Water rates to increase in Cobb

By Ty Tagami

Cobb County residents can expect an uptick in their water bills next year.

A scheduled rate increase of 6 percent takes effect Jan. 1. Since the price is broken into tiers (it increases with each 1,000 gallons consumed) the typical ratepayer will see a 2 percent increase. The wastewater fee is also rising 2 percent.

For information on the Cobb County Water System's new billing rates: water.cobbcountyga.gov.
