Water Fund budget amended for Chicago water purchases

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

On March 2, 2026 the City Council approved, on its consent agenda, a budget amendment of $305,000 to the Water Fund for water bought from the City of Chicago, bringing that line to $6,705,000 according to the staff memo. The memo attributes the overage to higher purchase volumes after more water main breaks and a warmer summer. The consent agenda vote was 5–0.
