News Roundup: Water Department Found Overcharging Meters. Chicago pitching selling your water.

If a Chicago homeowner wants to know their current water usage and bill, Chicago FPC Service can pull you a water certificate upon request. Please send us an email for request.
 

The aquifer that supplies Chicago suburb Joliet’s drinking water is expected to dry up by 2030. The suburb is now in talks with both the city of Chicago and the city of Hammond to provide water from Lake Michigan.

Chicago gave preliminary approval on Monday to a proposal that could bring in tens of millions of dollars in new revenue if Joliet chooses Chicago over Hammond.
