 (11/15/07) - Akron has been
collecting and calculating customer water bills with wireless technology for several
years. Now, it will be able to accept payment from water customers online or by phone
beginning November 19. A mail-only or office walk-in process up until now, bill
paying can now be done by check or credit/debit card over the phone by calling
330-375-2554 and selecting option 2, or by going online to www.ci.akron.oh.us/146 and clicking the online
bill payment link.
Customers may also use this web site to monitor account
activity and register to receive monthly bills by e-mail. There is no fee to use these new
features.
"It is important that we continue to invest in
technology to operate more efficiently," said Mayor Don Plusquellic. "And, these
new options are available around the clock, seven days a week to make the process easier
for customers."
Questions or comments concerning the new features should be directed to the Akron
Public Utilities Bureau at 330-375-2554.
The Akron Public Utilities Bureau provides water and
sewer service to almost 300,000 persons in Summit County including the cities of Akron and
Fairlawn, the Village of Mogadore and portions of Cuyahoga Falls,
Hudson, Bath, Springfield, Copley and Coventry townships.
