IS YOUR BUILDING LEAKING?


IS IT


A TRICKLE, OR IS IT


A GEYSER?


Living in the Chicagoland area has many benefits. One of the biggest is our lakefront, and the access to fresh water that it provides. Chicago and many suburban municipalities use Lake Michigan as their water source. But despite our proximity to the lake and the abundance of water it provides, did you know that the price of water and sewer has tripled in the last 10 years? Let’s put that in perspective. Electricity and natural gas costs are about the same as they were 10 years ago. These days, ComEd, Peoples Gas and Nicor Gas charge a little more for their delivery charges but the price per kWh and therm are nearly the same as they were 10 years ago, while the cost of water has tripled!
