Moline's utility finance story mirrors many across Illinois and the Midwest, from rate increases, council hesitancy, and EPA lead & copper guidelines. Hear it told by Utilities Director Tony Loete in his own words.

BACKGROUND: The City of Moline had gone nearly a decade without any increases to water rates, and this was threatening their fund balance. A 2014 water rate study by an outside firm indicated that significant increases were necessary in order to catch up. A hesitant council influenced the utility department to search for a way to assure the council on the need for these increases — and abide by strict new EPA lead & copper guidelines.

What difference can a sustainable infrastructure replacement plan make?

Profiled byThe Partnership for Water Sustainability, the District of Oak Bay is leading by example with its inter-departmental approach to embedding a life-cycle lens, along with a sustainable service delivery culture, into a local government finance vision.

Through its Sustainable Funding Plan, Oak Bay is demonstrating what a difference it makes when municipal staff have clear direction from Council to achieve two outcomes: 1) stem the incremental erosion of levels of service in the short-term; and 2) translate an intergenerational perspective into a life-cycle plan of action for perpetual infrastructure renewal.
