Water-related expenditures in Flossmoor were at the forefront of multiple actions by the village board Monday, and play a notable role in the new municipal budget.

In a separate action April 17, the board approved a water and sewer rate hike of 36 cents per thousand gallons of water used. The new rate is expected to increase . . .
