That $6.00 = $72.00 a year. This is just one of many reasons why we need to vote no on the Library referendum question on April 9th. An increase on your water bill, is not welcomed, but what are you going to do, you need water. What are you going to do if they raise the price of gas, income tax, your kids school fees, your insurance premium's, your medication, grocery's? We don't have much of a choice but to pay them. We do however, have a choice whether we want to see our library tax rate more then triple so they can build a new $21 million library, when we already have a library. The money that we save, and on the average priced home, that will be approximately $200.00 on our property tax bill, we can use to offset the increases that come along in life that we have no control over, and must pay to survive, and a new Library doesn't fall into that category. Vote NO on April 9th Library Referendum.

Can't they just fire a few of the Village employees that do nothing but ride around in the green trucks and do nothing all day? I know-they can just steal some more $ from the strapped taxpayer with "fees". Next up-they try to stick it to us w/ a new library. The govt beast is always hungry for your $.

I'm with you M&M, why should we spend $21 mil on a new library when the most the current library gets used is when it downstairs is used as a polling place.
People using a library has been on a decline. Arrange the current library in a more efficient manner or buy the lot across the street to be used as a parking lot and expand the current building.

I live in Homer Glen and we have the highest waterbill any where in will county and cook .i have 4 people in the house and my lowest bill o199.00 and my highest was 350.00 in the summer and that every month not every three month so get a grip people 6 .00 isnt nothing campared to what i have to pay.

My question....when do we start getting charged for the air we breath? I have been waiting for that, I owe SOOO much money for breathing all these years. Can't wait to pay on it when that pass that one! Have to love what the average person goes through everyday. Vote NO on the library!!!.

Infamous Steve-where is Hosey?

Wow, in 2011 was a referendum to raise the village sales tax by 1% for sewage treatment for approximately $ 6.00 a gallon. It Passed. Today they are increasing our water bills by $ 6.00 anyway. COINCIDENCE ?????

I live in the older area of Shorewood and I can't believe the price I pay for the brown rust stained water I get. Washing whites and having them come out yellow is not worth the increase of $6.00. Spending all the village money west of River Road when the older sections are neglected is just wrong. Please tell me this money will be used to fix this problem first and I might take the news a lie easier. Resident on Oakwood Drive.

Dear Stephen,, I meant 1.0 Million tank, not 1.5
