Aqua Illinois ($11.6 million) and Illinois American Water ($110 million) received rate hikes in 2024--but long before those increases consumers have complained to the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) about excessive water bills. That's because big water companies have successfully pushed for state policy that has allowed them to plunder their customers.
But Senate Bill 75, The Water Affordability Act, would institute reforms to better protect private water customers from these escalating costs. Please urge your Senators to support SB 75!
