City officials warn of upcoming water shutoff notices for residents

Residents of Dolton are being urged to take action regarding their water bills as the Village prepares to issue early warning notices for overdue payments. During a recent special board meeting, officials emphasized that while they are not currently in an aggressive water shutoff mode, residents should expect warning tags on their doors if they fall behind on payments.

Village leaders encouraged community members to come forward and make payments, or at the very least, set up payment arrangements to avoid potential water shutoffs. "Our last resort is turning off water," one official stated, highlighting the importance of maintaining access to this essential service.

The meeting also touched on the challenges ahead, with officials acknowledging that improvements will take time. They encouraged residents to hold the board accountable as they work towards better solutions. A motivational quote shared during the meeting encapsulated the sentiment: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest until good becomes better and better is your best."

As the Village of Dolton navigates these financial challenges, residents are reminded of the importance of staying proactive about their water bills to ensure continued service.
