SB1444 mandates a comprehensive study on Chicago's water contracts with distributing municipalities.

SB1444, the Chicago Water Contracts Transparency Study Act, directs the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability to commission an independent study on the City of Chicago's water contracts with distributing municipalities. The study will detail the agreements, charges, past infrastructure costs, future infrastructure costs, and fee increases. It will also analyze the financial feasibility of transitioning to an alternative water distribution system, assess the potential cost impacts on municipalities and ratepayers, and evaluate the environmental and regulatory considerations.
