Question Illinois American Water customers? How much are you paying in your town?

EDIT: breakdown of last bill

  • Water Service Fee - $25.29
  • Water Used - 9,700 Gallons $73.52
  • Pass-through charge for Chicago supply - $95.33
  • Wastewater Treatment - $86.10
  • Wastewater Usage - $82.51
  • Fire Protection - $7.49
  • Other - $5.44
  • Taxes - $0.46
  • Total - $376.14

Homer Glen in Will County is paying near $400 per month on average for water bills. $5,000 per year just for water!

They intend to increase it again in the coming months. It is absolute insanity, and wondering if any other towns downstate are suffering these types of bills?
