G-876 - 12/15/2008 - WATER - Ordinances Supporting Documents1111; 1 I O*A.1)
AGENDA ITEM
Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees
of
December 15, 2008
SUBJECT: Water Rate Adjustment
FROM: Darrell Langlois
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Impacts Water Fund Revenue
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2008 -
WA -G -876, which increases the consumption charge for water from $3.15 per thousand
gallons to $3.45 per thousand gallons and initates a new charge for water drawn from the
Village hydrant at 3003 Joire Boulevard in the amount of $5.45 per thousnad gallons
effective January 1, 2009.
Background /History:
During the 2009 Budget presentation, staff recommended increasing the consumption rate for
water from $3.15 to $3.45 per thousand gallons. The purpose of the increase is to adjust the
current water rate by 3% as provided for in the 2007 water rate study as well as to pass on a
$0 20 increase in the water rate charged by the Du Page Water Commission due to a City of
Chicago rate increase. Similar increases for the next two years will likely be required.
The proposed ordinance also implements a new fee for water taken from the hydrant in front of
the Public Works building by contractors, landscapers, etc. The rate recommendation is $2.00
higher than the regular water rate in order to offset administration costs (presently they pay the
regular water rate with no service charge).
Recommendation:
I recommend approval of the attached water rate increase ordinance.
