Barrington passed its 2023 budget this week and while residents will be paying a bit more for water and sewer, they will be seeing extensive public improvements.
Trustees on Monday approved a $46.1 million budget that includes $18.9 million for the general fund, which finances public safety and public works, and $14.2 million for the water and sewer fund.
The budget also includes an 8% hike in the charges for water and sewer consumption, which will go up by $1.12 per 1,000 gallons, bringing in an additional $389,000 in revenue to the water and sewer fund. That will help offset the cost of water delivery and treatment.
The village will be asking more from taxpayers as well. The village’s operating levy is going up 4.9% to $3.7 million.
