Aqua Illinois officials have clarified the water company’s filing for a rate increase with the Illinois Commerce Commission. Aqua officials say if approved a local customer’s average monthly residential water-only bill would increase by $8.50 a month or 28 cents a day starting in December 2024.
Earlier news announcements spoke of a higher rate, but that was for water/wastewater customers. Aqua has various customer types in Illinois. Aqua’s local division are water-only customers.
The ICC will have hearings, and it doesn’t have to approve the rate increase request in full.
