When he received his December water bill with a note asking him to contact the village regarding his meter, he wondered if the meter itself might be the problem.Īccording to Barger, the village generally gets about 10 calls from residents about a high water bill each billing cycle.

However, by the end of the summer, he noticed his bill wasn’t going down - in fact it was going up. He also replaced his washing machine with a high-efficiency model that conserves water. In early 2015, he replaced the toilets in his bathrooms with low-flow models designed to use less water. “No resident in the village has received anything but a normal water bill,” Barger said.Ī Forest Park resident who asked to remain anonymous owns a two-story, three-bedroom home in the village.
