The new service will be free to village residents initially, but an annual fee estimated at $52 ultimately may be required to offset fuel and labor costs. Meanwhile, apartments and condos will not be included in the pilot program. In the future, the hope is that something can be developed for those buildings, working with management companies, but a much larger fee will be required.
