Any drainage district may connect its drains, in the course of natural  drainage, or its levees to the drains or levees of another district or to  the storm drains or levees of a municipal corporation exercising drainage  powers. Any municipal corporation exercising drainage powers may connect  its storm drains, in the course of natural drainage, or its levees to the  drains or levees of a drainage district.

Whenever the connection is made for the  purpose of obtaining an outlet, such connection in itself shall be prima  facie evidence of the fact that lands and other property in the district or  municipal corporation making the connection are benefited by such work.Any district may, by a contract in writing with another district or with  a municipal corporation exercising drainage powers approved in the manner  provided in Sections 11-5, 11-6 and 11-7, obtain the right to connect  its drains other than in the course of natural drainage to the drains of  the other districts or to the storm drains of the municipal corporation.  Any municipal corporation exercising drainage powers may in like manner  obtain the right to connect its drains other than in the course of natural  drainage to the drains of a drainage district. If a drainage district or  municipal corporation exercising drainage powers, by reason of connecting  its drains other than in the course of natural drainage, causes damage to  any lands or other property by flooding or otherwise, it is liable for such  damage to the owners thereof or other persons interested therein and such  liability shall not be avoided by the terms of any contract between the two  bodies.
