Village adopts 2025 water utility budget, plans capital work and reserves increase
Summary
Trustees approved the 2025 water utility budget, which shows operating revenue and expenses up modestly and plans for capital work while increasing reserves; staff highlighted purchased-water cost increases and planned capital relays and infrastructure projects.
The board adopted Resolution 24-51, approving the 2025 water utility budget. Staff reported the proposed budget shows operating revenue up and operating expenses also up — largely driven by purchased water costs, depreciation and personnel — and described planned capital projects and decision packets. The presentation noted the water utility expects to add to its reserves for future infrastructure while carrying out design work for projects such as South Kenosha and Springbrook Road relays.
Staff summarized the budget by saying: "The '25 proposed budget net gain is down from '24 budget but up from 20 four's estimate." Trustees asked technical questions about purchased-water increases, timing of main relays and coordination with roadway reconstruction; staff said increased purchased-water costs are volume-driven and that the alignment of some water-main projects will be finalized after ongoing engineering studies.
