Note: When selling a Property or Moving Out of a Rental Unit, a Final Utility Bill will need to be requested. A Final Water Meter Read must be scheduled as near to the Closing Date or Moving Out date.
Water meter reads are completed remotely and electronically by the Village. The remote reading is completed by a Village vehicle that drives past the building to collect the reading.
If an error occurs during water meter reads, the Village will use an estimated water reading. The estimated water reading is based on your average water consumption.
If your water meter read is estimated, please contact the Village to schedule an in-person appointment to collect the water meter reading. Appointments can be made by calling 847-683-2181.
See the Example Utility Bill for an explanation of the information that is included on a Utility Bill.
