Frankfort weighs water switch costs at public forum
Frankfort officials presented fresh water cost figures at a village forum on switching from well water to Lake Michigan water. Current well water costs about 1.72 per 1,000 gallons, while a softener and salt add roughly 850 financed over 10 years, pushing total to about 4 per 1,000 gallons. If Lake Michigan water is adopted, costs estimate around 5.20 per 1,000 gallons, with residents noting variability based on filtration, usage, and bottled water. A second forum was scheduled for Frankfort Square.
