Meeting on a rare Tuesday night, the Elgin City Council made several changes to water bills sent out to residents.
According to information provided by City Clerk Kristin Childers, the council approved a plan to change the billing cycle.
Previously, the water bill was sent out quarterly. Beginning in January, the City will change to a monthly billing cycle.
The other change will be the cost for water. The council (Leigh Kluthe, Mike Dvorak, Craig Niewohner and Dr. Jeremy Young) approved increasing water rates to $32 per month plus $2.76 per thousand gallons of water used.
