Village issued a request for engineering-firm qualifications for these design services; responses were due September 30, 2026. - Water rate increase / rate study · 2026 · proposed
RCAP presented a water-rate study to the village on May 9, 2026; council scheduled three readings (Aug/Sep/Oct 2026) of Ordinance #241G amending the water rate.
Supply stress
No drought, capacity, or contamination stress documented in sources reviewed. The village is concurrently soliciting engineering design services for its water/wastewater systems and revising rates with RCAP's help in 2026, suggesting aging infrastructure and an underpriced rate base rather than a supply-quantity problem.
