CITY OF CHICAGO, DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, UTILITY BILLING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
WATER RATES, SEWER RATES AND PENALTIES

Beginning June 1, 2016, and every year thereafter, the annual water rates shall be adjusted upwards, if applicable,
by applying to the previous year's rate of inflation, calculated based on the Consumer Price Index - Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (Chicago All Items) published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics for
the 365-day period ending on the most recent January 1. Any such annual increase, however, shall be capped
at 105% of the previous year's rate. The sewer rates are 100% of the water rates. Penalties accrue at a rate of
1.25% per month on late balances.
GARBAGE FEE
Effective January 1, 2016, properties are subject to the garbage fee. (The garbage fee is charged to all properties
that receive Department of Streets and Sanitation garbage collection service.) The garbage fee is billed as a line
item on your new unified utility bill and reflects the same time period as your water and sewer charges. The
garbage fee is $9.50 per month per dwelling unit. Your first unified utility bill of 2016 includes catch up billing for
the garbage fee dating back to January 2016. You will have the full year to pay the garbage fee without any
penalties.
THE NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS USED TO CALCULATE YOUR GARBAGE FEE IS: 1
