Water Rate Increase Information

January 1, 2012 the Village of Hillside had to enact a water rate increase due to increases we received from our suppliers. The City of Chicago, (where our water is purchased) instituted a 25% rate increase and the Village of Melrose Park, (who transmits and chlorinates our water) instituted an 8% rate increase in 2012 to transmit the water from the City of Chicago boundary to communities that they supply due to increased operational costs. The Village of Hillside, along with a number of communities, have banned together to form a Regional Water Rate Task Force to investigate recourse’s to these substantial increases. Although these efforts are expected to be a lengthy process, we would urge you to continue to read the Hillside Happenings in order to stay informed as these matters develop.
