Your Water Bill is Going up in 2024The city of Akron has announced a restructuring of its water rates in 2024, increasing from $2.73 to $3.06 per HCF (hundred cubic feet). Residential customers will also incur a fixed infrastructure charge of $9, leading to an overall monthly utility bill increase of $10-$12 for most Akron residents. The changes aim to fund necessary projects for Akron's aging drinking water infrastructure, addressing repairs and replacements of essential components over 100 years old. The revenue generated, estimated at $15 million, will support projects like Brittain Road Reservoir replacement, water main replacements, lead service line replacement, and updates to the Filter Building Treatment Facility. The city is also launching a water affordability program, offering eligible residents a 40 percent discount on the water portion of their bill, with applications opening on Jan. 1, 2024.

Akron mayor Dan Horrigan held his State of the City address on Monday where he covered the major bullet points, from housing and infrastructure to pandemic response. The mayor joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to break down what was mentioned during his address, which was held inside at the newly revamped Akron Civic Theatre. Horrigan starts out discussing quality-of-life matters such as Good Park Golf Course, then segues into conversations on the city's finances and housing in general.

:17 - With hot spots of COVID-19 popping up in Arizona, Florida, California, and elsewhere, Summa Health’s Dr. Thomas File once again stressed the importance of masks and social distancing. 7:21 - Farther down on the priorities list has been concerts and musical theatre, but places such as the Akron Civic Theatre have been integral in downtown areas. Howard Parr talked about the potential timetable when they may see acts return, which will most likely be local or regional than nationwide tours. He also mentioned the ongoing renovations to the Civic that have been a part of the new downtown Akron. 13:11 - Baseball is….back? Beginning July 1st, MLB teams will conduct their training camps in their home stadiums instead of reporting to Florida or Arizona.
