- The City buys fresh water from the City of Chicago (Lake Michigan). Chicago has raised the costs for the past four years.
- Significant infrastructure improvements have been made to the Park Ridge water and sewer systems over the last 5 years. These improvements include Advanced Metering Infrastructure, major rainwater detention projects, water main replacements and sewer lining (which extend the life of sewers, resulting in long-term cost savings).
- The general costs of labor, maintenance and replacements continue to increase.
- Fixed rates will remain unchanged for 2024.
- Water and sewer rates are adjusted to coincide with the first utility billing period that falls completely within the calendar year. Residents will see increases on March and April utility bills.
