Information
The Village conducted an initial water rate study in 2017. The approved study concluded that
the Village's Capital Improvement Plan was insufficient and would result in an overall
replacement of the system over 600 years, while the actual lifespan of water/sewer
infrastructure is 75 to 100 years. The Village adopted the new rate study and executed bond
issuances in 2018, 2019, and 2022. To support the infrastructure improvement plan and pay
for the added debt service payment, the study recommended an 8% increase in overall water
and sewer rates. The Village executed planned increases of 8 percent in the water/sewer
rates from 2018 to 2022.
The study was revised in 2023, and the project life cycle and cash needs were evaluated. It
was concluded that for the year 2024, a 5.95 percent combined increase will be sufficient.
This includes a 6.0 percent increase in water rates and a 5.75 percent increase in sewer rates.
The study calls for a 7.0 percent increase in water rates for 2025 and onwards, and a 5.75
percent increase will be necessary for sewer rates for 2025 and onwards. The Village normally
adopts an ordinance fixing water/sewer rates for the coming two years, and the same has
been proposed herewith.
The approved budget for 2024 includes the above water and sewer rates. The attached
ordinance formally adopts the rate proposed in the 2024 budget. The table below summarizes
the rate changes from the current year. An average household using 5,000 gallons will see an
increase of $68.88 annually and will pay an annual fee of $1,230.48 in water and sewer
charges. The same amount will increase by $83.04 in 2025, resulting in annual charges of
$1,313.52.
