Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Possible Water Hike Not Expected to Affect Arlington Heights

... #ad▼

Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Palatine and Wheeling — members of the Northwest Water Commission — would not see a Chicago water rate increase, because water is pumped from Evanston, which also shares potable water with Skokie. But other suburbs might not be so lucky.

City of Chicago water delivery pipes are in need of an infrastructure update. Paying for the upgrade could be partially passed on to the member communities of two other water commission in Chicago suburbs.

A Chicago city council approval of a budget hike of water rates to two other water commissions would cause other communities to see a rise in the price of water:

The DuPage Water Commission suburbs that receive Lake Michigan from Chicago — consisting of about 25 communities — could see rate hikes of 25 percent next year, and 15 percent each for the following three years.

Community members of the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Authority (NSMJAWA), which include Elk Grove Village, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, Mount Prospect, Schaumburg, and Streamwood would be similarly affected
