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.
