The meter program is mandatory. As with all steps in progress and for improvement, it comes with a cost for the village residents and the municipality.  Currently 88 to 92 percent of the meters are not reading correctly and this is most probably costing you money.  This is not a revenue maker for the village, in fact we have reduced our water revenue budget by aporoximately $50,000 as we expect that with the accuracy of the new meters and the new water rates, we will see that much of a decrease in that line item or more.

As long as you pay in good faith by setting up some type of payment plan with Vickie, our Village Clerk, the village is not looking to impose punitive penalties on residents as we all understand finances and the needs of our residents.

I am in the process of trying to find alternate sources to help defray the resident fee, however, with the debt that we have incurred under previous administrations, it is difficult to commit to any more loans or grants.

 I will do my very best and keep everyone informed on the status of any developments concerning this.
