The cost of water is expected to tap the financial well of New Lenox residents again, since infrastructure improvements in Chicago and Oak Lawn are moving forward.

In an attempt to grapple with inevitable increases associated with water department improvement project along with plans to upgrade the
Galesburg, IL Police Station Square Foot Cost Estimates Total Building Cost $192.99 sq ft. total= $2,122,855 http://www.reedconstructiondata.com/building-types/police-stations/illinois/ Even using a total of $200.00 sq ft. the entire project should be under 6 million. And does this include the cost of obtaining the land? What Government project has ever come in under or even at budget? ifthey project 9.5 then we are really looking at 10.5 - 11 million at the end of construction.
They have no soul, you silly rabbit.
Think of the jobs this project will create- golf caddy, pool boy, wealth management advisor- and that's just for Balderman !

What ex-chief GETS Former Chicago Ridge police Chief Timothy A. Baldermann gets a total of more than $274,000 a year from three government agencies. A breakdown: $129,192 Tax-free disability pay — which is about $20,000 more than he was paid as chief. $127,000 Yearly salary from Union School District 81, a 110-student district in Joliet where he started as superintendent in June. $18,000 Annual salary as part-time mayor and liquor commissioner of New Lenox. The day he left his job as Chicago Ridge police chief to go on disability, Timothy A. Baldermann got a big raise. Baldermann walked away with disability pay of $129,192 a year — nearly $20,000 more than he made as police chief for the southwest suburb. Baldermann, 46, is due to collect more than $2 million in disability pay by the time he turns 60 for the back injury he reported suffering while loading a body into a police van four years ago, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found. After he turns 60, he will see his disability pay soar by 48 percent, to $191,204. Each year after that, it will go up by another $3,876. His disability pay — all tax-free — is the highest the Sun-Times has found in its investigation into police and firefighter disability benefits paid out by cash-strapped public pension systems financed largely by taxpayers.
Now, they want to revisit the generous deal they gave him. Not a chance, says Baldermann.
My back hurts too! I never filed WC. I never took advantage of the system, but one thing I do know is each year it breaks my heart to think that I may have to move because of the taxes. Why are you so selfish???? You are suppose to be for the people, not against the people.
On another note with respect to water usage, water is both a "fixed" and "variable" cost for our village. With that said when the homeowners that don't consume 6,000 gallons of water every month should be credited in the months they do use more than 6,000 gallons to the extent of the floor (6,000 Gallons) for the fixed cost portion of water for households. The "real" cost for water annually would then be same to everyone and everyone would then be paying for what they actually use annually. It seems to me the elderly and smaller households are likely paying much more for water annually if they have months that thier usage is below the city "floor" for water billing. That's not fair.
you buy a water softener. At least that's a fixed price!
