Ordinance amending certain prior rate ordinances for the use and services of certain waterworks and sewerage systems of the County of Lake in the State of Illinois.
Staff Summary
· Three of the County's twelve water systems, distribute water purchased from the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency (CLC JAWA).
· Member agencies and the County purchase water from CLC JAWA at the rate of $2.15 per 1000 gallons.
· Due to reduced revenues, related to low water demand, CLC JAWA has been forced to increase their water rate in order to balance their budget.

· In order to accommodate the CLC JAWA increase, we are required to pass this increase along to our customers and our water rate will be increased from $5.29 to $5.46 per 1000 gallons.
