Oak Park Water Finds Metered Use Cheaper for Homes
Oak Park residents increasingly adopt water meters as a cheaper alternative to standard rates. A typical single faucet bill drops from about $25 to $12.50 with metering, though large homes with baths may still favor the meter. Total change cost is $17 per user, with meters priced at $15 and piping $2. The system charges 30 cents per thousand gallons with a 20 percent discount if paid by the 10th. Oak Park water costs run higher than Chicago’s due to artesian pumping costs and local mains funded by assessments. The Oak Park plant is praised for purity and extensive mains growth, preventing Cicero’s annexation and sewer-polluted Lake Michigan water.
