Back ground /History:
The Du Page Water Commission (DWC) has announced a rate hike effective May 1, 2010. This
rate increase was necessitated by exhaustion of most of their reserves. The rate increase will
amount to $0.60 per thousand gallons of water. The attached ordinance would pass this rate
increase to Village of Oak Brook water system customers by increasing all categories of water
rates by $0.60 effective May 1, 2010. Residential rates, which were increased to $3.79 per 1000
gallons last November, will now be $4.39 per 1000 gallons. Non - residential rates will be
increased from $4.79 to $5.79 per 1000 gallons.
Recommendation:
I recommend approval of the attached water rate increase ordinance.
