Fight for lower Illinois American Water rates

CUB’s putting out a statewide consumer alert because we need your help in a case before the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC).

Customers of Illinois American Water have just received a $35.3 million rate hike. We helped reduce the proposed increase by about $14 million—but we think we can cut it even more. And that’s why we need your help.

On Thursday, we filed a petition for rehearing to challenge this water increase—and we think we have a strong case. Please urge the ICC to grant a rehearing of the case and lower Illinois American’s water rates.
