Illinois American Water is just like all the other companies that know the Citizens Utility Board won't stand in their way to increase pofits. It is just another ploy to say "poor us we need more improvements." Is that what the last increase was for? This will make at least the third rate increase in just 8 years. Every 2 1/2 years make the consumer aware of who runs the show.

Our up the river IL city supplied water just took a 36 percent increase on my most recent bill. I'd really like to see how this shakes out with the ICC. I run a car wash as well and it is very painful with and increase of that much in these trying times.
