The Belvidere Daily Republican. - City considers water, sewer rate hike

"They (Chrysler) are one of our largest users, with a yearly account of $1.2 million," Lawler responded, and he reported that their use has been off by about 20 to 30 percent this year.

Alderman Bob Bowley made a motion to allow the Public Works Department to increase the water and sewer by the first "step." For water usage, that would be an increase from $1.34/HCF to $1.48, averaging for the typical residential household an increase of $7.47. For the sewer portion of the bill, the increase would be from $2/HCF up to $2.12, or a total sewer increase for the year for the typical residential household of $9.96. The total yearly cost for implementing just the first step for both water and sewer is estimated to total just over $18.
