From the meeting
The City of Akron set drinking water rates for 2027, 2028, and 2029, with the new rates starting January 1, 2027 and first appearing on February 2027 bills. The notice said a typical home would pay about $5 more per month for drinking water in 2027. It tied the increase to aging pipes, treatment and storage repairs, and $153 million in existing drinking-water debt.
The city also said council was considering a proposal to develop a long-term water system plan.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
