Elgin uses these guys.?.
Aqua Water Supply Corporation - Water Services - Providing water and wastewater for home, farms and ranches
They start off with a $24.75 charge and add $3.35 per 1,000 gal, up to 10,000 gals..
Seems pretty tame, if you only use a few thousand gallons a month..
You should be able to keep it under $2 a day if you conserve..
