FAQs

FAQ's on the July 1, 2025 rate increases can be found here.

Charges for sewer usage are based on water consumption. Sewer charges for residential bills issued in July through October are based on average winter consumption plus 25%.

Water bills are issued on a bi-monthly basis from actual meter readings. If the Village is unable to obtain an actual reading, an estimated bill will be issued that is based on the historical average usage for each location. Water and Sewer bills are sent out by the first of each month and are due on the 21st of the month. The Village offers several payment options for water and sewer bills.

Stormwater Fee

The stormwater utility fee will be billed and collected using the existing water and sanitary sewer billing framework already in place. A stormwater utility fee is billable based on the physical characteristics of an individual parcel, using the amount of imprevious surface to determine how much water run-off said parcel contributes to the Village's stormwater infrastructure.

  • $17.00 bi-monthly per ERU and $17.00 bi-monthly per IDF
  • An average residential parcel will have 1.0 ERU and 1.0 IDF, making their bi-monthly bill $34.00 (or $17.00 per month):

$34.00 Bi-Monthly = (1.0 ERU x $17.00) + (1.0 IDF x $17.00)
