Dolton to Limit Water Rate Hike for August Bills
Dolton residents will face a 30 percent increase in water rates beginning with August bills and a minimum quarterly charge of 5.00. The 30 cent per 100 cubic feet rate follows Chicago’s 40 percent wholesale rise, with village board president Frederick L. Kassen noting the slower increase aims to keep village services affordable while delaying costs. Nearby communities have passed on larger increases already.
