Illinois American Water

The parent company of Illinois American Water is pausing billing after its computer systems were breached by hackers last week.

A consumer advocacy group says Illinois American Water's $152 million rate hike request to the state should be cut down to size — to the tune of around $50 million.

Peoria Heights is weighing a sale of its water department to a private company as quality control problems persist and costly new regulations loom.

Peoria's water company has likely grown considerably more expensive since the last time it was appraised in 2005. But some members of the Peoria City Council say they want to see the due diligence process through.

The City of Peoria will pay nearly $100,000 for an initial study of a water company buyout, but it's far from a done deal at this point if the city council will even try to find out how much the waterworks is worth.
