Comparing city water/sewer rates

Sewer and water rates have risen in Marietta about 9 percent each year on average for the last decade, with a more than 11 percent increase expected for many customers next year. While those increases may seem high compared to other utilities, Marietta, with a population of 13,900, will see that rise on par with that of other cities of similar size across the state in terms of water and sewer rates.
