Chicago’s Water & Sewer Tax More Than Doubles for 2018
Chicago’s new water and sewer tax has increased from $0.59/1000 
gallons to $1.28/1000 gallons effective January 1, 2018. This tax is assessed in addition to the water/sewer rates and was enacted to help pay for part of Chicago’s pension debt.
For facilities which use a lot of water, this increased tax will impact their 2018 budget. Enacting water conservation strategies may be helpful, especially as these water-sewer taxes will continue to rise to $2.01/1000 gallons in 2019 and $2.51/1000 gallons in 2020.
Contact Gabriel’s Water Department at water{at}gabenv.com or 773-486-2123 to discuss if a water saving audit may be beneficial to your facility.

The donated glasses will be sent to schools and other institutions in South America and southeastern Asia for the next eclipse in 2019.

Donations can be dropped off at our reception desk from 8:00am – 5:30pm. After-hours and weekend donations can be dropped off in the collection box by our side door in our parking lot.
Gabriel is located just north of downtown Chicago between North Avenue and Division Street, off the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94).
