Report a Water/Sewer Leak or Utility Emergency

Use the right route: Do not use the payment portal for active water leaks, sewer issues, flooding, loss of service, or after-hours emergency. Call 330-848-6744 for emergency/after-hours utility help, or use the City’s water/sewer leak reporting link when safe.

  • When you first noticed it.
  • Whether nearby homes/businesses are affected.
  • Photos only if safe to take.
  • Your name and callback number.

Do not delay if…

  • There is electrical, traffic, injury or life-safety risk.
  • Service is interrupted after hours.

High Barberton Water Bill: Leak Check Before You Pay Blindly

City-recommended meter test

  • Take a meter reading before bed or when no water will be used for several hours.
  • Take another reading in the morning before any water is used.
  • If the readings changed and you cannot explain water use, investigate a leak.
  • Check humidifier, ice maker, toilet flushes and water softener before concluding it is a leak.

Toilet tank check

  • Remove tank lid carefully.
  • Mark the water level with pencil.
  • Shut off the water supply to the toilet.
  • If level drops within 10 minutes, the flapper plug is leaking.
  • Water level should be at least 1 inch below the top of the overflow tube.
Cost warning from the City: Barberton’s water leak guidance says a typical toilet leak at current rates can add about $500 to a single water bill. Fix suspected leaks quickly and keep repair proof.

Before calling 330-753-0328 about a high bill, gather this

  • Account number and service address.
  • Current bill amount, due date and billing days.
  • Water usage shown on current and previous bills.
  • Whether the bill also includes sewer, storm water or garbage.
  • Leak photos, plumber receipt, repair date or toilet-part replacement date.
  • Payment confirmation if you already paid.

2026 Barberton Water and Sewer Rate Details

Use these as planning numbers from the 2026 rate schedule. “M Gal” means thousand gallons. Your bill can also include sewer, storm water, garbage, Norton surcharge, outside-city rates, minimums, or other utility items.

Rate item 2026 official detail What it means for users
Effective date 5% increase effective with March 2026 billing. Compare old bills carefully if a March 2026 bill changed.
Water: first 1M–30M gallons/month $9.02 per M Gal for Barberton; Norton rate listed at $13.53 per M Gal. Most residential usage usually falls in the first block.
Water minimum, 5/8-inch meter 2,500 gallons monthly charge: $22.55 Barberton; $33.83 Norton. This is why very low usage still has a minimum bill.
Special 20% discount water rate $7.22 per M Gal; qualified Barberton residents/homeowners only; $18.05 per month minimum. Check eligibility before assuming your bill should receive the discount.
Sanitary sewer first 30M gallons/month $6.43 per M Gal Barberton; Norton rate $9.65; outside rate $12.86. Sewer is based on water usage, so leaks can affect more than the water line.
Sewer-only residential $43.05 per residential unit, based on 6,700 gallons/month. Useful if you have sewer-only billing rather than City-metered water.
Bulk water $10.21 per thousand gallons at the wastewater plant to truck customers. Not a normal household billing item.

Hydrant Flushing: Brown Water, Low Pressure and Laundry Tip

🚰

Why flushing happens

The Water Department flushes hydrants and mains to remove minerals/deposits, improve water quality and inspect hydrants.

🟤

If water is discolored

Run cold water at the lowest-level tap until clear. Avoid laundry and dishwashing until water clears.

👕

If laundry is stained

Do not put stained laundry in the dryer. Rewash immediately with detergent and add a rust remover.

Flushing schedule note: The FAQ says flushing usually starts after winter weather breaks and may continue daily until complete, estimated around 6–8 months. Neighborhood signs are placed before work begins in an area.

Local Barberton Utility Tips That Save Time

Do not use the old “no fee” rule blindly

The City bill-pay page says services had no fees, but the live InvoiceCloud portal notice says card/debit/PayPal service fee begins July 15, 2026. Use ACH/EFT to avoid the fee.

Know whether the bill is water, sewer, storm water or garbage

The online portal covers Water, Sewer, Storm Water and Garbage bills. A high “water bill” may actually include sewer, storm water or garbage line items.

Use dashes in the account number

The online bill pay FAQ says the account number must be entered exactly as printed on the bill, including dashes.

Fix toilet leaks immediately

Barberton’s leak page says 90% of residential plumbing leaks they see are found at the toilet tank. A small flapper issue can become a large bill.

Check flushing before doing laundry

If hydrant flushing signs are in your area, check cold water first. If clothes get stained, do not put them in the dryer.

Use emergency number after hours

Payment confirmation does not repair a leak or restore service. For urgent water/sewer issue after hours, call 330-848-6744.
