Illinois American Water files to adjust rates

 
 
BELLEVILLE — Illinois American Water recently filed a request with the Illinois Commerce Commission to adjust its water rates. According to Illinois American Water, the request is driven primarily by over $1.1 billion in completed or planned investment in water system improvements and in wastewater system improvements across the state from 2018 through 2023. The filing is a necessary first step in the 11-month ICC rate review process; rates are not changing at this time. Any new rates would not become effective until early 2023, six years since Illinois American Water’s last general rate change in 2017.
