It seems like the City of Wheaton is keeping with the general trend sweeping over Illinois in increasing the cost of living for its' residents. This year the prices of City water and sewer will be getting more expensive.
Those residing in Wheaton can expect to see a 30 percent increase to their water bills this upcoming month. This past Monday the City Council of Wheaton voted to up the water rate from $2.65 to $3.45 per 100 cubic feet of water. So what does this translate to on your monthly bills? Based on the average water use per household, Wheaton residents can expect to see an estimated $9.60 more go out the window to cover their water bills each month.
"This year’s rate hike from the DuPage Water Commission is not the last. The commission is expected to increase its rates by 20 percent in 2013, 18 percent in 2014, and 17 percent in 2015, to pay off a $70 million debt."
