 (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1046)Sec. 46.         (a) Any municipality, sanitary district, county or other  public body created by or pursuant to State law and having jurisdiction  over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes,  which has  been directed by an order issued by the Board or by the circuit court to  abate any violation of this Act or of any regulation adopted thereunder  shall, unless such order be set aside upon review, take steps for the  acquisition or construction of such facilities, or for such repair,  alteration, extension or completion of existing facilities, or for such  modification of existing practices as may be necessary to comply with  the order.  The cost of the acquisition, construction, repair,  alteration, completion, or extension of such facilities, or of such  modification of practices shall be paid out of funds on hand available  for such purposes, or out of the general funds of such public body not  otherwise appropriated.If funds on hand or unappropriated are insufficient for the purposes  of this Section, the necessary funds shall be raised by the issuance of  either general obligation or revenue bonds.  If the estimated cost of  the steps necessary to be taken by such public body to comply with such  order is such that the bond issue, necessary to finance such project,  would not raise the total outstanding bonded indebtedness of such public  body in excess of any limit which may be imposed upon such indebtedness,  the necessary bonds may be issued as a direct obligation of such public  body and retired pursuant to general law governing the issue of such  bonds.  No election or referendum shall be necessary for the issuance of  bonds under this Section.The funds made available by the issuance of direct obligation or  revenue bonds as herein provided shall constitute a Sanitary Fund, and  shall be used for no other purpose than for carrying out such order or  orders of the Board.The Attorney General shall enforce this provision of the Act by an  action for mandamus, injunction, or other appropriate relief.Any general obligation bonds issued under this Section, or any revenue  bonds  issued under this Section as limited bonds pursuant to Section 15.01 of the  Local  Government Debt Reform Act, are subject to the requirements of the Bond Issue  Notification Act.(b) In order to be eligible for federal grants for construction of  sewage works pursuant to Section 201(g) of the Federal Water Pollution  Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, any sanitary district,  drainage district, municipality, county, special district or other unit  of local government established pursuant to State law, that owns or  operates sewage works may adopt, in accordance with such unit's  statutory procedures, ordinances or regulations to provide for systems  of proportionate cost sharing for operation and maintenance by  recipients of such unit's waste treatment services, to provide for  payments by industrial users of costs of sewage works construction  allocable to the treatment of industrial wastes, and to provide such  other capabilities as may be necessary to comply with Sections 204(b),  307, and 308 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as now or  hereafter amended.(c) In order to comply with Section 307 of the Federal Water Pollution  Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations promulgated  thereunder, the units of local government  identified in subsection (b) of this Section may adopt, in accordance with  such unit's statutory procedures, ordinances or regulations to enable the  unit of government, as regards industrial users of sewage works, to control  through permit, contract, order or similar means, the nature and amount  of pollutants discharged to the sewage works, to require compliance with  applicable pretreatment standards and requirements, to require compliance  schedules and the submission of notices and self-monitoring reports related  thereto, to carry out inspection and monitoring procedures in order to  determine compliance or noncompliance with the applicable pretreatment  standards and requirements, to obtain remedies including, but not limited  to, injunctive relief and civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance  with pretreatment standards and requirements, and to provide such other  capabilities as may be necessary to comply with Section 307 of the  Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, and  regulations  promulgated thereunder.
