Illinois American Water seeks rate hike that would add $24 a month to average bill – Daily Herald*

Illinois American Water is one of just two private water utilities in the state, providing water and wastewater services to approximately 1.3 million customers. While consumer advocacy group Citizens Utility Board says the potential hike is “excessive and severe,” the utility said the rate increase request reflects $557 million in water and wastewater system investments to be made through 2025.

$24 a month to those that pay their bills, or even more to cover those underserved that are allowed not to?

I suspect that it is already going on with Com Ed and the gas company. I would be curious to see the cost of services provided to the underserved. If it isn’t already happening it soon will be. Equity and all that jazz.
