Village of Bolingbrook

This week, Village of Bolingbrook took a stand against the proposed Illinois American Water rate increase before the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC)—the state body that oversees water rates for privately held public utilities. ? Our Village Attorney presented a strong case, emphasizing that water is a basic necessity and vital resource no one should struggle to afford. Bolingbrook was the only local municipality to present oral arguments at the hearing. ? Regardless of the ICC's decision, the Mayor and Trustees remain committed to finding ways to ensure access to clean, reliable water at an economical rate for all Bolingbrook residents. Together, we can protect our community and preserve the affordability of this essential resource. ???? #BolingbrookStrong #APlaceToGrow #CommunityFirst
