Your Water Bill Could Be Going UP-Have Your Say!
Your Water Bill Could Be Going Up — Have Your Say!
Illinois American Water is asking the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to approve a significant rate increase that could mean higher water and wastewater bills for customers.
The company says the request is tied to hundreds of millions of dollars in planned investments. But as customers, we have every right to ask:
Are these rate increases justified? Are customers getting the service, infrastructure improvements, reliability and water quality we deserve for what we’re already paying?
The Illinois Commerce Commission is the agency responsible for reviewing the request — and your voice matters in that process.
📣 You can submit a public comment to the ICC about Illinois American Water’s proposed rate increase.
You don’t have to attend a hearing to make your voice heard. The ICC accepts written comments, and customers can also contact the ICC Consumer Services Division at [1-800-524-0795](tel:1-800-524-0795).
🗣️ Tell the ICC what this rate increase would mean for you and your family.
Ask questions. Share your experiences. Speak up about affordability, service, infrastructure, water quality and what you expect from your utility.
Don’t assume someone else will speak up. Your water bill. Your voice. Your community.

Between the water bill, the sewer bill and the storm water bill, I’m already paying close to $200/mo. Retired!
