About this area's water

Did you know
  • Barberton was founded in 1891 by industrialist Ohio Columbus (O.C.) Barber, the Diamond Match magnate whose company town gave the city its name.
  • The Barberton Reservoir is a 200-acre, 670-million-gallon lake on Upper Wolf Creek, fed by an 18,062-acre watershed spanning Medina and Summit counties.
  • Two emergency interconnects with Akron's system sit ready as a backstop, but Barberton didn't buy a single gallon from Akron in 2025.
  • Qualifying Barberton homeowners get a 20% discount rate of $7.22 per 1,000 gallons, and the water runs hard - about 170 ppm total hardness.
History5
  • 1891City of Barberton founded by industrialist Ohio Columbus (O.C.) Barber, the Diamond Match Company magnate.
  • 1969Ohio law took effect requiring fluoride to be added to public drinking water; Barberton still fluoridates under it, averaging 0.88 ppm in 2025.
  • 2025Design work continued on an infrastructure improvement plan for the Barberton Reservoir dam, expected to go out to bid in late 2026.
  • 2025The water treatment plant's own septic system was found no longer serviceable; a replacement pump station was designed for 2026 installation.
  • 2026A 5% across-the-board water and sewer rate increase took effect with the March 2026 billing, under a standing 2013 ordinance allowing up to 5% a year.
Treatment & pressure

How it is treated

Conventional treatment: mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorine disinfection, plus fluoride and orthophosphate for corrosion control. Backup: three wells on Pigeon and Wolf Creek (4.6 MGD) and two emergency Akron interconnects.

Water pressure

not published; no psi figure or pressure-zone data found in the 2025 CCR, the 2026 rate schedule, or the city utilities pages.

What it costs

$9.02 per 1,000 gallons

Typical household bill about $45 a month for water.

Residential, +5% effective March 2026: $9.02/1,000 gal to 30,000 gal, then $8.02/$7.49; $22.55/mo minimum covers 2,500 gal. Bill shown at 5,000 gal/mo.

Projects & plans4

Recent and current work

  • Water main replacements · 2025 · completed
    Wooster Road West from 4th to 27th Street, Frank Street and Wisteria Drive water mains replaced.
  • Barberton-Norton distribution expansion and Norton elevated storage tank · 2025 · completed
    Joint Barberton-Norton project for Brookside Greens off Greenwich Rd; tank finished before the CCR circulated; mains on Wadsworth Rd to SR 21.

Planned or needed

  • Barberton Reservoir dam infrastructure improvement · 2026 · planned
    Design phase continued through 2025; the project is expected to go out to bid in late 2026. No cost published.
  • Treatment plant septic-to-pump-station conversion · 2026 · planned
    The plant's septic system is no longer serviceable; a replacement pump station was designed in 2025 for 2026 installation.
Supply stress

Both sources rate as susceptible in the city's own CCR: all Ohio surface water is presumed vulnerable, and the backup sand-and-gravel aquifer is shallow with no significant protective layer above it. The 18,062-acre Upper Wolf Creek watershed carries farm runoff and home sewage system risk.

Sewers

Sanitary

Barberton's Sewer Division serves about 13,000 customers (the water side serves ~11,000) with its own treatment plant, industrial pretreatment and collection crews. Sewer is billed on metered water use: $6.43/1,000 gal to 30,000 gal, $16.08/mo minimum. Plant capacity and receiving stream were not found.

Storm

The Sewer Division maintains sanitary, storm and combined sewers, so part of the city is on a combined system. No stormwater utility fee, CSO outfall count, or consent-decree status was found.

Sourcesverified

Compiled from the utility's own reports and public records, then independently re-checked against primary sources.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 44203 (Barberton), so every figure here is worked out from the gauges around it - the nearest ones weighted most. Treat them as close estimates rather than readings.

48,624 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
