The circumstances vary from case to case, of course, but in short, the pattern involves Chicagoans getting socked with bills for water they didn't use.
"Because of your reporting, I'll be working with my colleagues to make sure that we're beginning to address this issue," Villegas said,"and I think I think that we'll finally put it into this thing this year.CBS 2 fixed dozens of people's water bills under Mayor Lori Lightfoot – but the city departments refused to answer any more questions.
Villegas plans to fight for billions in federal funds to replace the pipes. He estimates to replace all of Chicago's lead water lines, it will cost $9 billion."We're going to have a lot of development and rebuilding of the infrastructure in the 21st Ward," said Mosley.
This made it sound as if Mayor Lori Lightfoot's team – whether the mayor herself or her administration – was not working with Villegas on this issue, as they were not working with us.Villegas spearheaded a study that found departments are siloed and don't speak to each other – in what amounts to a crippled bureaucracy.
Villegas is now undertaking what might be a $500 million tech upgrade to fix that siloing. But Alderman-elect Hall said such proposals for upgrades or investments can raise red flags for taxpayers.
