Statement from Rep. Patrick Sheehan about Illinois American Water’s proposed Rate Hike:
“Illinoisans are facing higher costs on everything from their power bill to their property taxes. Families and seniors cannot afford another $14 or $28 increase on their water service alone. I understand that aging water infrastructure must be upgraded, but this seems like an unreasonable rate hike. I am working with consumer advocates and concerned citizens to understand how we can provide more oversight and transparency around this proposal.”
