Water-Sewer Tax
Beginning on March 1st utility bills (both residential and commercial) will now reflect charges for the water-sewer tax.
Residences and businesses will continue to be billed at the same frequency as their current billing cycle. Metered properties are billed for water and sewer services every other month for the previous two months of water and sewer usage. Current meter rates are $3.81 per 1,000 gallons, and sewer charges are 100 percent of the water bill.
The City has updated language on the back of your utility bill to help you understand the water-sewer tax as well as all other charges included in the utility bill.
Sample Metered Bill
If you need assistance with your utility bill, the Chicago Department of Finance Utility Billing Customer Service can answer questions. For more information call 312-744-4426.
