Notice on Proposed Acquisition of Prairie Path Water Co. by Illinois American Water (ICC Docket No. 25-0545) and Illinois American Water Rate Change Request

Jan 27, 2026

Prairie Path Water Co. and Illinois American Water continue to work together on the proposed sale of Prairie Path’s water and wastewater operations. Until the closing of the sale to Illinois American Water is completed, Prairie Path remains the local water and wastewater company, and the local team is committed to providing customers with excellent service.

We are working with Illinois American Water to ensure that when services are transitioned, it is as seamless as possible for customers. As we move through the process, customers may receive updates from Prairie Path as well as from Illinois American Water, including a recent letter from Illinois American Water about their rate change request.

Illinois American Water has filed a rate change request with the Illinois Commerce Commission. This rate filing includes our current Prairie Path Water Co. customers, as it is anticipated that these customers will be served by Illinois American Water when new rates are approved and implemented. This filing is not a Prairie Path Water Co. rate change request. Any questions or comments related to the request should be directed to Illinois American Water at (800) 422-2782 or the Illinois Commerce Commission.

Until the sale is final, customers can continue to manage their accounts online via My Utility Account at account.myutility.us. Our customer service team is also available to help with any service or billing inquiries at (800) 831-2359. For more information on the Illinois American Water’s rate change request and to find out what actions you may take, visit the Water and Wastewater Rates page.
