Village Manager Cara Pavlicek said staff decided to modify the rates after listening to comments from trustees during the first reading of the ordinance earlier this month. The earlier proposal called for increasing water usage rates by 9.2 percent to $10.40 per 1,000 gallons. The customer charge would vary between $5 to $460 per month. The largest water customers, the two hospitals, would have been required to pay the $460 fee.
