Rate hike battle blocks Prestwick refinancing offer
Homeowners associations in Frankfort Square and Prestwick claim a victory as the Illinois Commerce Commission rejects Prestwick Utilities refinancing of 184000 dollars in past due sinking funds at a new rate of 17.3 percent and a 200000 dollar note at 9.5 percent, averting about 33000 dollars yearly in interest costs. The denial was called a significant factor in resisting higher water and sewer charges, though the utility viewed it as a disappointment.
