I should say sizable increase.
Not very much at all. It average's around 15-20$ a month increase in water and elec. In the summer my shop will get close to 100 deg so the ice melts pretty fast so the machine runs more. But like I said before that's the best thing for an ice machine is to run. Now in winter the machine may not kick on for 3-4 days unless I take ice out. My water bill averages around 45-50$ a month during summer months and 25-30$ in winter.

The water being discharged out the machine is very little. But its enough to have it piped to the ditch or to a P-trap to your sewer.
