Water consumption is getting more expensive for Schererville residents, as they will see a 28% rate increase on their upcoming bill.
The Schererville Town Council and its Waterworks Board voted in favor of the rate hike on Wednesday, passing on the increase the town received from its supplier, Indiana American Water.
Councilman Tom Schmitt, D-4th, said that based on typical residential customer water usage of 4,000 gallons per month, the cost will increase from an average of $21.81 per month to $25.20. Approximately $3.2 million of the funding will come from American Rescue Plan Act funds. The Town of St. John, which uses Schererville’s facility, is on the hook for 30% of the costs, which equals the amount of solid waste it contributes.
Phase one of the project entails the construction of a bridge over a set of railroad tracks beginning north of Avenue H. The project also involves the widening of the road from approximately U.S. 30 to Main Street, spanning 2.46 miles.
