Illinois American Water is seeking a $129 million to $142 million rate increase over two years, which would raise typical monthly bills by $14 to $28. Around 660 residents and officials packed a public hearing in Bolingbrook to oppose the request, citing already unaffordable bills and questioning the company's profitability. The Illinois Commerce Commission is expected to decide by December 18.

The streamlined program allowed families to choose which utility bill to pay—electric, gas, or water—reducing barriers for those facing financial hardship. The Foundation also announced over $25 million in total community investments since 2012, with regional subsidiaries providing additional charitable support across Kentucky and Virginia.
