Water Supply Service Agreement with Illinois-American Water Company for Alpine Heights Subdivision
History
The Illinois-American Water Company is a public utility, regulated by the Illinois Commerce Commission, which owns and operates a potable water distribution system located in the Alpine Heights subdivision. The subdivision has no connections to other Illinois-American Water Company water lines, so the subdivision’s water is supplied by the Village of Orland Park.
Orland Park had previously entered into an agreement with Derby Meadows Utility Company dated October 8, 1992 in which the Village of Orland Park sold water to Derby Meadows, who supplied water to Alpine Heights Subdivision (See Exhibit A). Since 1992, Citizen’s Utilities Company acquired all assets of Derby Meadows Utility Company and then Illinois-American Water Company acquired all assets and stock of Citizen’s Utilities Company.
