City Water Rate Regulations

Summary

In Illinois, cities can set their own water rates, but they must be reasonable and justifiable. If you find the rates excessively high, you can review your citys water rate ordinance, attend city council meetings to voice your concerns, or contact the Illinois Commerce Commission for guidance. Checking your billing statements for irregularities and filing a complaint with the commission are also viable steps.
