Goals & Achievements

Homer Glen's Sewer & Water Task Force formed in 2004 to investigate the high cost of water and waste water treatment and make recommendations to the Village Board for improving service to Homer Glen residents. The Task Force members worked alongside Village staff and legal counsel to highlight concerns pertaining to Illinois American Water's recent request for a 13% increase to the supply charge for unaccounted for water. During the public forum held by the ICC several months ago, these issues were brought forward. The ICC has not made a decision at the time of this writing, December 2008.

Most recently, the Task Force members toured the Oak Valley Treatment facility on South Bell Road. The waste water treatment plant is undergoing significant expansion and renovation. Illinois American representatives provided the members an in depth look at the infrastructure, operations and shared their long-range strategy that prompted the plant's expansion. The facility will be a significant factor in providing adequate and state of the art service to Homer Glen residents.
