💧 American Water Reports 2024 Earnings American Water recently announced its 2024 earnings, reporting $1.1 billion in net income for its Regulated Businesses—up from $971 million in 2023. While companies often cannot predict exact profit margins, the significant increase raises important questions about the balance between business sustainability and fair pricing for the communities they serve. Essential resources like water should never be a vehicle for excessive financial gain at the expense of residents who have no alternative provider. The Village of Bolingbrook remains committed to advocating for fair and transparent utility rates. We urge the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to take a close look at these financial outcomes and consider the impact on local households when reviewing future rate proposals. We will continue to monitor this situation and stand up for the best interests of our community. 💙💧 #BolingbrookCares #FairRates #CommunityFirst

MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE OF BOLINGBROOK: The Village of Bolingbrook took a stand against the latest proposed Illinois American Water (IAW) rate increase before the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), the state body that oversees water rates for privately held public utilities. Unfortunately, the commissioners of the ICC (Chairman Doug Scott, Commissioner Michael Carrigan, Commissioner Ann McCabe, Commissioner Conrad Reddick and Commissioner Stacey Paradis) all appointed by the Governor chose to uphold the administrative law judges decision to grant 70% of the rate increase that was requested. Our Village Attorney, Burt Odelson, presented a strong case, emphasizing that water is a basic necessity and vital resource no one should struggle to afford. Bolingbrook was the only local municipality to present oral arguments at the hearing. Additionally, the Village argues the rate increase in this case disregards the public outcry voiced by Bolingbrook customers in response to the rate increase and further fails to account for the public comments in the Village’s Amended Initial Brief. In light of the Commission’s statutory duties, the Village poses a simple but yet important question to its members: How does the rate increase proposed by IAW ensure affordability and preserve the availability of these services to the residents of Bolingbrook? The simple answer is that it doesn't. The Village would like to thank the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) and the residents that showed up for the public hearing held at the Community Center last June. While we are disappointed in the granting of any rate increase, your help was vital in reducing the rate increase by 30%. WHAT WE HAVE DONE: On February 11, 2025, the Village of Bolingbrook filed an appeal in the Third Judicial District Appellate Court challenging the rate increase granted by the ICC. We are working with State Senator Ventura who recently introduced a bill backed by Representative Avelar in the House regarding private water systems. Individual residents can help by reaching out directly to Bria Scudder Deputy Governor based in Chicago bria.scudder@illinois.gov and to their own state representatives and let them know how crushing IAW's rates are to their daily lives. If you need help in finding out who your legislators are, please go to https://lnkd.in/g_Q2tCr. You can click on the House or Senate map and enter your address to find your representatives and their contact information as well. You can also reach out to Governor JB Pritzker directly by sending a letter to Office of the Governor, 401 S. Spring St., Springfield, IL 62704 or online by going to https://lnkd.in/gDauFVFJ. Action will only by taken by these elected officials if they understand how serious this is to the residents. We ALL must act if we want to make a difference.
