As of June 1, 2023 River Forest property owners are billed for their water and sewer usage on a bi-monthly basis at the following rates:

  • Water: $7.61 per 100 cubic feet
  • Sewer: $4.69 per 100 cubic feet

**The combined water and sewer rate has been increased by 3.4% ($0.41 cents per 100-cubic feet).  The new combined water and sewer rate is $12.30 per 100-cubic feet.**

The increase is based on the city of Chicago rate increases and for future operating and capital costs.

Every household must have a $45 deposit on file for water and sewer service. The deposit is billed on your first water bill. Water and sewer bills also contain the bi-monthly solid waste collection fee. (See Refuse & Recycling)
