Sec. 1. 
		
		The corporate limits of the Sanitary District of Chicago,
heretofore organized under the provisions of this Act, within the
territorial limits of Cook County, may be extended in such manner as may
be provided by law to include any area of contiguous territory within
the limits of said Cook County wherein the construction, maintenance and
operation of sewers and sewage treatment plants and the construction,
enlargement and maintenance of outlets for the drainage of the
territory will conduce to the preservation of the public health.
The  Governor and either branch of the
Legislature of this state shall have the right to examine the books of
the trustees and all expenditures made by or in any such district, by
committee or otherwise, and to call for further reports, accounts, items
and copies of all contracts made by or documents held in the possession
of any such trustee; and upon the failure refusal or neglect of any such
trustees to accurately and completely furnish any and all such items,
accounts, documents and reports of contracts as provided in this act,
any and all trustees of any such sanitary district shall forfeit their
office and by proceedings in quo warranto be ousted and
removed therefrom; all
such actions may be brought in the county where any such trustees may

Sec. 3. 
		
		The corporate authority of the Sanitary District of Chicago shall
consist of nine trustees.  Such trustees shall be elected for staggered
terms at the election provided by the general election law.  Three trustees
shall be elected at each such election to succeed the 3 trustees whose terms
expire in such year.
Such trustees shall take office on the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in the month following the month of their election and shall hold their
offices for six years and until their successors shall be elected and qualified.
In all elections for trustees each elector may vote for as many candidates
as there are trustees to be elected, but no elector may give to such candidates
more than one vote, it being the intent and purpose of this Act to prohibit
cumulative voting in the selection of members of the board of the sanitary district.
The election of trustees shall be in accordance with the provisions of
the general election law.
By reason of the importance and character of the services performed by
the sanitary district, there is a great need and it is in the public interest
that such services be performed in as near a non-partisan character as possible.
When a vacancy exists in the office of trustees of any sanitary district
organized under the provisions hereof, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment
by the Governor until the next regular election at which trustees of the
Sanitary District of Chicago are elected, and thereafter until a successor
shall be elected and qualified.
Such sanitary district shall from the time of the first election held by
it under this Act be construed in all courts to be
a body corporate and politic, and by the name and style of the sanitary
district of...., and by such name and style may sue and be sued, contract
and be contracted with, acquire and hold real estate and personal property
necessary for corporate purposes,
and adopt a common seal and alter the same at pleasure.
The board of trustees shall have the power to change the name of the Sanitary
District of Chicago by ordinance and public notice without impairing the
legal status of acts theretofore performed by said district. Thereafter
any and all references to the Sanitary District of Chicago in this Act or
otherwise shall mean and include the name under which such sanitary district
is then operating.  No rights, duties or privilege of such a sanitary district,
or those of any person, existing before the change of name shall be affected
by a change, in the name of a sanitary district.  All proceedings pending
in any court in favor of or against such sanitary district may continue
to final consummation under the name in which they were commenced.

Sec. 3.2. 
		
		The designation of the corporate authorities of sanitary districts
organized under this Act is changed from "trustees" and "boards of trustees"
to "commissioners" and "boards of commissioners".
Wherever any of the terms "trustee", "trustees", or "board of trustees"
is used in this Act or in any other Act to refer to the corporate authorities
of a sanitary district organized under this Act, those terms shall mean,
respectively, "commissioner", "commissioners" and "board of commissioners".
The change made by this amendatory Act of 1975 is intended to change only
the designations of the corporate authorities of sanitary districts organized
under this Act.  It shall not operate to reduce the term of any
member elected or appointed to the board of any such sanitary district.
No action taken before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975
by the corporate authorities of any sanitary district organized under this
Act shall be rendered invalid by reason of the fact that such corporate
authorities were designated as trustees or boards of trustees in relation
to that action.

executive director shall notify the board of commissioners of the date,
time, place and nature of the hearing.
In addition to the general counsel appointed by the executive director,
the board of commissioners may appoint from outside its own number an

at a separate flat amount for each of the following: the president, the vice-president, the chairman of the committee on finance, and the other members; the increased annual rate of compensation shall apply to all such officers and members whose terms as members of the board commence after the increase in compensation is adopted by the board.
The board of commissioners has full power to pass all necessary
ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions and regulations for the proper
management and conduct of the business of the board of commissioners and
the corporation and for carrying into effect the object for which the
sanitary district is formed.  All ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions
and regulations passed by the board of commissioners must, before they
take effect, be approved by the president of the board of commissioners.
If he approves thereof, he shall sign them, and such as he does not
approve he shall return to the board of commissioners with his
objections in writing at the next regular meeting of the board of
commissioners occurring after the passage thereof.  Such veto may extend
to any one or more items or appropriations contained in any ordinance
making an appropriation, or to the entire ordinance.  If the veto extends
to a part of such ordinance, the residue takes effect.  If the
president of such board of commissioners fails to return any ordinance,
order, rule, resolution or regulation with his objections thereto in the
time required, he is deemed to have approved it, and it takes effect
accordingly.  Upon the return of any ordinance, order, rule, resolution,
or regulation by the president, the vote by which it was passed must be
reconsidered by the board of commissioners, and if upon such
reconsideration two-thirds of all the members agree by yeas and nays to
pass it, it takes effect notwithstanding the president's refusal to
approve thereof.
It is the policy of this State that all powers granted, either expressly
or by necessary implication, by this Act or any other Illinois statute to
the District may be exercised by the District notwithstanding effects on
competition. It is the intention of the
General Assembly that the "State action exemption" to the application of
federal antitrust statutes be fully available to the District to the extent
its activities are authorized by law as stated herein.

public office.
Of the members so appointed, one shall be appointed for a term of 2 years,

member, the unexpired portion of the term shall be filled by
appointment within 60 days by the trustees.  The board shall elect
from its members a chairman, vice-chairman and secretary.  Each shall serve for

shall receive a salary of $15,000 per annum, except the Chairman, who shall

No member of the civil service board shall be removed except for
palpable incompetence or malfeasance in office upon written charges
filed by or at the direction of the trustees and heard before the
trustees sitting as the board of hearings herein provided for.
The board of hearings shall hear and determine the charges
and its findings shall be final.  If the charges

hearings and the trustees shall thereupon proceed within 30 days to fill the
vacancy created by that removal.  In all proceedings provided for

amendatory Act of 1997, all
positions in said sanitary district
with reference
to the duties thereof for the purpose of establishing job classifications, and

classified civil
service of such sanitary district and no appointments, promotions,
transfers, demotions, reductions in grade or pay or removal therefrom shall be made
except under and according to the provisions of this Act and of the rules
hereinafter mentioned. As a part of such classified civil service all employees under said Director, except special examiners, shall
be included. The Director shall ascertain and record the duties of each
position in the classified civil service and designate
the classification of
each position. Each classification shall comprise positions having
substantially similar duties. He shall also record the lines of promotion
from each lower classification to a higher classification wherever the
experience derived in
the performance of the duties of such lower classification tends
to qualify for
performance of duty in such higher classification. The director,
subject to the
disapproval of the civil service board as hereinafter provided, shall by
rule prescribe standards of efficiency for each classification
and for examinations
of candidates for appointment thereto. Such rule or any amendment thereof
shall take effect 30 days after written notice thereof is given to the
civil service board, unless within such period the board files with the
Director a written notice of its disapproval thereof.
For the purpose of establishing uniformity of pay and title for all
positions similarly classified, it shall be
the duty of the Director to prescribe by rule which shall become effective
when approved by the trustees, the maximum and minimum pay for each
classification
and the title thereof and to report to the trustees annually and at such
other times as they may direct the name and address of each officer and
employee paid more or less than the pay prescribed for his classification or
designated by a title other than that prescribed for his classification by the
board of trustees. It shall be the duty of the trustees not later than
the beginning of the next fiscal year
after receiving
such report to change the pay or title of any position or
employee so
reported out of classification to conform to the title and pay
prescribed by the
Director for the classification in which the position held by
the
employee is classified. The Director shall standardize employment in each
classification and make and keep a record of the relative
efficiency of each employee in the classified civil service. The Director shall
provide by
rule methods for ascertaining and verifying the facts from which such
records of relative efficiency shall be made which shall be uniform for
each classification in the classified civil service.

examiners and it shall be the duty of such special examiners to conduct
such examinations as the Director may direct, and to make return and
report thereof to him; and he may at any time substitute any other
person in the place of any one so selected; and he may himself, at any
time, act as such special examiner, and without appointing other special
examiners.  The Director shall,
by rule, provide for and shall hold sufficient number of examinations to
provide a sufficient number of eligibles on the register for each grade
of position in the classified civil service, and if any place in the
classified civil service shall become vacant, to which there is no
person eligible for appointment, he shall hold an
examination for such position and repeat the same, if necessary, until a
vacancy is filled in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Eligible registers shall remain in force for 3 years, except the
eligible register for laborers which shall remain in force for 4 years and
except the eligible registers for student programs and entry level engineering
positions which, in the Director's discretion, may remain in force for one
year.
Examinations for an eligible
list for each position in the classified service above mentioned shall be
held at least once in 3 years and at least annually for student programs and
entry level engineering positions if the Director has limited the duration of
the registers for those positions to one year, unless the Director determines
that such examinations are not necessary because no vacancy exists.
To help defray expenses of examinations, the sanitary district
may, but need not, charge a fee to each applicant who desires to take
a civil service examination provided for by this Act. The amount of
such fees shall be set by the corporate authority of the sanitary
district.  Such fees shall be deposited in the corporate fund of the district.

class of positions in the classified service of the sanitary district of
the persons who shall attain such minimum mark as may be fixed by the
Director for any part of such examination, and whose general average
standing upon examination for such grade or class is not less than the
minimum fixed by the rules of the Director, and who are otherwise eligible;
and such persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates in the
order of their relative excellence as determined by examination, without
reference to priority of time of examination.  The Director may substitute
categories designated as A, B, and C for numerical
ratings and establish eligible registers accordingly.

Sec. 4.10. Promotions. The Director shall note of record the duties
(whether imposed by
law, official regulation or practice) of each classification in the
classified service, and shall thereupon by rule fix lines for promotion
from lower classifications to
higher classifications in all
cases where, in his or her judgment, the experience gained in the lower
classification may tend to qualify an employee to perform the duties of a
higher classification. In case of vacancy in
higher classifications, which cannot be filled by reinstatement, the
Director shall hold promotional examinations to fill such
vacancy. Incumbents
of classifications in lines of promotion established by the Director shall be solely
eligible for such examination, unless in the judgment of the Director, it
is for the best interests of the service that original examination for such
vacancy be held. In promotional examinations, efficiency and
seniority in
service shall form a part of such examination, but combined shall not carry
a weight of more than 25% of the total examination points. Although efficiency and seniority in service shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total examination points, the Director may require candidates to separately pass the efficiency and seniority  parts of the examination in order for the candidates to be eligible to take the subsequent parts of the examination. If the Director requires candidates to separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination, then any candidate who does not pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination shall fail the entire examination. All examinations for
promotion shall be
competitive. The method of examination, the rules governing the same, and
the method of certifying shall be the same as provided for in the original
examination.

this Section, and examinations to supply an eligible list therefor shall
be held and an eligible list established therefrom within one year from
the making of such appointment.  The acceptance or refusal by an eligible person of a temporary appointment does not affect his or her standing on the register for permanent appointment.
In employment of an essentially
temporary and transitory nature, the Executive Director may, with the
authority of the Director of Human Resources make temporary appointments.  No temporary appointment of an essentially temporary and
transitory nature may be granted for a period of
more than 119 consecutive or non-consecutive working days per calendar year.  The Director must
include in his or her annual report, and if required by the commissioners, in
any special report, a statement of all temporary appointments made
during the year or period specified by the commissioners, together with
a statement of the facts in each case because of which the authority was
granted.
All laborers shall be appointed by the Executive Director and shall
be on probation for a period to be fixed by the rules, not exceeding 250 days worked by the laborer in the position of the probationary appointment.

recommendation of  the department head concerned, may terminate any such probationary appointee and he or she shall notify the Civil Service Board in
writing of the termination; however, the Executive Director's termination of a probationary appointee shall be final and not subject to review.  If a probationary appointee is not terminated, his
or her appointment shall be deemed complete under the laws governing the
classified civil service.

Sec. 4.14. No employee in the classified civil service of the
sanitary district shall be involuntarily demoted or discharged except for cause, upon
written charges, and after an opportunity to be heard in his  own defense. For discharge actions, such
 charges shall be filed with the civil service board within 30 days from the date of suspension under the charges, and the charges shall be promptly investigated by or before the civil service board, or
by or before some officer or officers appointed by the civil service board
to conduct such investigation. Both involuntary demotion and discharge hearings shall be public and the employee shall be entitled to call witnesses in his or her defense and to have the aid of counsel.  Such hearings shall take place within 120 days after charges are filed against the employee, unless the civil service board continues a discharge or involuntary demotion hearing for good cause shown and with the consent of the employee.  After the hearing is completed, the civil service board shall enter a finding and decision.  A decision shall be deemed to have been served either when a copy of the decision is personally delivered or when a copy of the decision is deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the employee at his last known address on file with the human resources department. The finding and decision of the civil service board or of such
investigating officer or officers, when approved by said civil service
board, shall be final, except for the judicial review thereof as herein
provided, and shall be certified to the appointing officer, and shall be
forthwith enforced by such officer. Nothing in this Act shall limit the
power of any officer to suspend a subordinate for a reasonable period not
exceeding thirty days; however, if charges are filed against a suspended employee, the suspension shall be extended until the civil service board enters its finding and decision regarding the charges unless prior to this time the board enters an order approving an agreement between the sanitary district and the employee that the suspension should terminate at an earlier date. Every such suspension shall be without pay:
Provided, however, that the civil service board shall have authority to
investigate every such suspension and, in case of its disapproval thereof,
it shall have power to restore pay to the employee so suspended. For discharge actions, if the civil service board enters a finding and decision denying discharge, the employee shall be returned to the classification held at the time charges were filed. For involuntary demotion actions, if the civil service board enters a finding and decision granting an involuntary demotion, the employee shall be demoted to the employee's most recent former classification. In the
course of any investigation provided for in this Act, each member of the
civil service board and any officer appointed by it shall have the power to
administer oaths and shall have power to secure by its subpoena both the
attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books and
papers.
Either the sanitary district or the employee may file a written petition for rehearing of the finding and decision of the civil service board within 21 calendar days after the finding and decision are served as provided in this Section.  The petition shall state fully the grounds upon which application for further investigation and hearing is based.  If a petition is denied by the civil service board, the decision shall remain in full force and effect and any further appeal by either party shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all amendments
and modifications thereof, and the
rules adopted pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings
for the judicial review of final administrative decisions of the civil
service board hereunder. The term "administrative decision" is defined as

examination held hereunder for purposes of preference in certification and
appointment from such eligible list.
No person shall receive the preference for a promotional appointment
granted by this Section after he has received one promotion from an

amounts of taxes for the nonpayment of which real estate
shall be forfeited to the State, and abatements in the
amounts of such taxes extended upon the collector's books
for payment of bond and interest thereon.  Such budget shall

Sec. 5.6. 
		
		During the consideration of and before final action by the board
of trustees on the proposed budget, such tentative budget shall be made
conveniently available to public inspection for at least ten (10) days by
having at least three (3) copies thereof on file in the office of the Clerk
of the district and by making copies available to anyone upon payment of a
reasonable charge. At the conclusion of this said ten (10) days and not
more than twenty (20) days after such budget shall have been made available
for public inspection the said board of trustees shall hold at least one
public hearing thereon of which public notice shall have been given by at
least one publication in a newspaper having general circulation in the
district at least three (3) days before such public hearing is held. It
shall be the duty of the board of trustees to arrange for and to hold such
public hearing or hearings.

(70 ILCS 2605/5.7) (from Ch. 42, par. 324q)
Sec. 5.7. The board of trustees of the district shall consider the budget
estimates as submitted to it by the executive director and may add to,
revise, alter, increase or decrease the items contained in the budget.
However, in no event may the total aggregate proposed expenditures in the
budget exceed the total estimated means of financing the budget.
The board of trustees shall, before January first of the budget year,
adopt the budget which is effective on January first of the budget year.
The appropriation ordinance and tax levy ordinance must be parts of the
budget and must be adopted as a part thereof by single action of the board
of trustees. The appropriation ordinance must be filed with and be a part
of the tax levy ordinance, which tax levy ordinance need not contain any
further or additional specifications of purposes, itemizations or details
for which appropriations and the levy are made. The board of trustees shall
appropriate such sums of money as may be necessary to defray all necessary
expenses and liabilities of the district to be paid by the board of
trustees or incurred during and until the time of the adoption and
effective date of the next annual appropriation ordinance under this
Section.  The board of trustees shall appropriate such sums of money as may
be necessary to pay the principal and interest on bonds. The board may not
expend any money or incur any indebtedness or liability on behalf of the
district in excess of the percentage and several amounts limited by law,
when applied to the last known assessment. The appropriation ordinance must
specify the several funds, organization units, objects, character and
functions (activities) for which such appropriations are made, and the
amount appropriated for each fund, organization unit, object, character,
and function (activity). The receipts of the district as estimated in the
budget and as provided for by the tax levy ordinances and other revenues
and borrowing Acts or ordinances are applicable in the amounts and
according to the funds specified in the budget for the purpose of meeting
the expenditures authorized by the appropriate ordinance. The vote of the
board of trustees upon the budget shall be taken by yeas and nays, and
shall be entered in the proceedings of the board of trustees.
The appropriation ordinance may be amended at the next regular meeting
of the board of trustees occurring before January first of the budget year
and not less than 5 days after the passage thereof in like manner as other
ordinances. If any items of appropriations contained therein are vetoed by
the president of the board, with recommendations for alterations or changes
therein, the adoption of such recommendations by a yea and nay vote is the
equivalent of an amendment of such annual appropriation ordinance with like
effect as if an amendatory ordinance had been passed.
Such appropriation ordinance together with other parts of the budget as
the board of trustees desire must be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the district and made conveniently available for inspection
by the public.  Such publication must be made after the date of passage of
such budget and before January 20 of the budget year, but the
date of publication does not affect the legality of the appropriation
ordinance or the tax levy ordinance or any other ordinances necessary to
give effect to the budget.  Such ordinances are effective on the first day
of January of the budget year.
The Clerk shall certify that such appropriation ordinance as published
is a true, accurate and complete copy of the appropriation ordinance as
passed and approved by the board of trustees. The board of trustees shall
also make public, by publication or otherwise, at this time, the tax rate
necessary or estimated to be necessary to finance the budget as adopted.
After adoption of the appropriation ordinance, the board of trustees may
not make any further or other appropriation prior to the adoption or
passage of the next succeeding annual appropriation ordinance. The board
has no power, either directly or indirectly, to make any contract or to
take any action which adds to the total of district expenditures or
liabilities in any budget year any sum over and above the amount provided
for in the annual appropriation ordinance for the budget year.  However, the
board of trustees has the power, anything in this Act to the contrary
notwithstanding, if after the adoption of the appropriation ordinance (1)
federal or State grants or loans are accepted, (2) the voters approve a
bond ordinance for a particular purpose or the issuance of bonds is
otherwise authorized by law, or (3) duly authorized bonds of the district
remaining unissued and unsold have been cancelled and any ordinance has
been adopted by the board of trustees under Section 9 of this Act
authorizing the issuance of bonds not exceeding in the aggregate the amount
of bonds so cancelled, to pass a supplemental appropriation ordinance (in
compliance with the provisions of this Act as to publication and voting
thereon by the board of trustees) making appropriation, for the particular
purpose only as set forth in the ordinance, of the proceeds of the grants,
loans, or bond issue or any part thereof required to be expended during the
fiscal year.  However, nothing herein contained prevents the board of
trustees, by a concurring vote of two-thirds of all the trustees (votes to
be taken by yeas and nays and entered in the proceeding of the board of
trustees), from making any expenditures or incurring any liability rendered
necessary to meet emergencies such as epidemics, flood, fire, unforeseen
damages or other catastrophes, happening after the annual
appropriation ordinance has been passed or adopted, nor does anything
herein deprive the board of trustees of the power to provide for and cause to
be paid from the district funds any charge upon the district imposed by law
without the action of the board of trustees.

or by any person or persons, for or in its behalf notwithstanding the
expenditure may have been ordered by the said board of trustees, unless an
appropriation therefor shall have been previously made by said board in the
manner aforesaid. No officer, head of a department, or commission shall,
during a budget year, expend or contract to expend any money or incur any
liability, or enter into any contract, which, by its terms, involves the
expenditure of money for any of the purposes for which provision is made in
the appropriation ordinance in excess of the amounts appropriated in said
ordinance. Any contract, verbal, or written, made in violation of this
section shall be null and void as to the district, and no moneys shall be
paid thereon; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall
prevent the making of contracts for the lawful purposes of said district,
the terms of which contracts may be for periods of more than one year, but
any contract so made shall be executory only for the amounts for which the
said district is lawfully liable in succeeding budget years.
The books of account of the district shall be so kept that it shall be
possible to determine at any time the exact condition of each of the
separate amounts appropriated. One set of budgetary books shall be known as
the appropriation record of the district and shall be kept in such manner
as to indicate for each amount appropriated at all times at least such
information as the amount originally appropriated, transfers during the
year, encumbrances, disbursements, and unencumbered balances. Every
obligation of the district for purchase orders, contracts, or other
commitments shall be reported in the appropriation record irrespective of
the contemplated date of delivery, receipt, or payment.

Sec. 5.9. The board of trustees shall, at any time after March 1 of each
fiscal year, have power, by a two-thirds vote of all the
members of such body, to authorize the making of transfers within a department
or between departments of sums of money appropriated for one corporate object
or function to another corporate object or function.  Any such action by the
board of trustees shall be entered in the proceedings of the board. No
appropriation for any object or function shall be reduced below an amount
sufficient to cover all unliquidated and outstanding contracts or
obligations certified from or against the appropriation for such purpose.
In addition to the contributions required under Section 13-503 of the Illinois Pension Code, the board of trustees, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, may transfer
the interest earned on any moneys of the district as well as revenue from any lawfully available source into the district's fund or
funds that are most in need of the interest income or revenue from any lawfully available source, or the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Retirement Fund.  This authority does not
apply to any interest that has been earmarked or restricted by the board for a
designated purpose.  This authority does not apply to any interest earned on
any funds for purposes of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District
Retirement Fund or Reserve Claim Fund.
The board of trustees, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, may
transfer fund balances between its Working Cash Funds.

appropriation ordinance for the objects and functions therein specified, so
far as the same shall relate to the construction, operation and maintenance
expenses, including making payments on existing contracts, advertising for

expenses, salaries and wages and making payments of principal and interest
on bonds and on tax anticipation warrants and making payments for unpaid

or purpose shall not be construed as an approval of the board of any of
said contract liabilities or of any project or purpose mentioned but
shall be regarded only as the provision of a fund, or funds, for the
payment thereof when said contract liabilities have been found to be
valid and legal obligations against the said district, and when properly
vouchered and audited
by the Department of Finance, or when any
project or purpose is approved and authorized by the board of commissioners
of the district as the case may be.

		Annual audit. 
		Each district shall cause an
independent audit to be made annually for the period beginning January 1,
and ending December 31. Such
audit shall be made by a Certified Public Accountant licensed to practice
in the State of Illinois, who shall examine and audit the
accounts of the district. A report thereof, together with any
recommendations as to changes in accounting procedure
shall be made to the board of trustees and shall be printed in the official
proceedings of the district. At least 3 copies of such audit shall
be made conveniently available for public inspection at the office of the
district and a copy of such audit shall be made available to any person
requesting a copy thereof upon the payment of a reasonable charge. Copies
of such audit shall be furnished to such departments or agencies of the
State of Illinois as may be required by law and such audit shall comply
with such State laws as may regulate the making of governmental audits. The
reasonable expense of the audit required to be made hereunder shall be paid
by each such sanitary district.
An annual audit of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater
Chicago conducted in accordance with Section 5.12a serves as that
district's annual audit required by this Section.

Sec. 7. 
		
		The board of trustees of any sanitary district organized
under this Act shall have power to provide for the drainage of such
district of both surface water and sewage, by laying out, establishing,
constructing and maintaining one or more main channels, drains, ditches
and outlets for carrying off and disposing of the drainage (including
the sewage) of such district, together with such adjuncts and additions
thereto as may be necessary or proper to cause such channels or outlets
to accomplish the end for which they are designed in a satisfactory
manner; and may lay out, establish, construct and maintain, or provide
for the laying out, establishing, constructing and maintaining of sewage
disposal and treatment plants and works, within or without the
territorial boundaries of such sanitary district, that may be
advantageous or necessary in preventing the water in any channel, ditch,
drain, outlet or other improvement of the sanitary district discharged
into or through any river or stream of water beyond or without the
limits of the district constructing the same from becoming offensive or
injurious to the health of any of the people of the State, and, in the
case of the Sanitary District of Chicago, beginning with the year 1925,
some efficient method of treating sewage other than by water dilution
shall be annually provided to create an effluent thereof which shall not
be offensive or injurious to the health of any of the people of the
State, and which shall be adequate to care for a population of not less
than 300,000, until at least 60 per centum of the present population of
the Sanitary District of Chicago has been provided for; also to make and
establish docks adjacent to any navigable channel made under the
provisions hereof for drainage purposes, and to lease, manage, and
control such docks, and any land adjoining, or adjacent thereto, owned
or controlled by such sanitary district and also to control and dispose
of any water power which may be incidentally created in the construction
and use of said channels or outlets, but in no case shall said board
have any power to control water after it passes beyond its channel,
waterways, races or structures into a river or natural waterway or
channel, or water power, or docks, situated on such river or natural
waterway or channel; Provided, however, nothing in this Act shall be
construed to abridge or prevent the State from hereafter requiring a
portion of the funds derived from such water power, dockage or wharfage
to be paid into the State treasury to be used for State purposes, nor,
from supervising for purposes of navigation any channel which has been
heretofore or may be hereafter constructed by any such district. Such
channels or outlets may extend outside the territory included within
such sanitary district, and the rights and powers of said board of
trustees over the portion of such channel or outlet lying outside of
such district shall be the same as those vested in said board over that
portion of such channels or outlets within the said district, but in the
case of the Sanitary District of Chicago, such rights and powers of the
board of trustees, shall not extend beyond the terminus of its main
channel at Lockport in the township of Lockport, in the County of Will,
Illinois.
The Board of trustees shall have the right, power and authority by
ordinance, to establish, revise and maintain rates or charges for
drainage of surface water and the disposal of sewage.
Any user charge, industrial waste surcharge or industrial cost recovery
charge imposed by a sanitary district, together with all penalties, interest
and costs imposed in connection therewith, shall be liens against the real
estate which receives the service or benefit for which the charges are being
imposed; provided, however, such liens shall not attach to such real estate
until such charges or rates have become delinquent as provided by the ordinance
of the sanitary district and provided further, that nothing in this Section
shall be construed to give the sanitary district a preference over the rights
of any purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising
prior to the filing in the office of the recorder of the county
in which real estate is located, or in the office of the Registrar of Titles
of such county if the property affected is registered under "An Act concerning
land titles", approved May 1, 1897, as amended, of notice of said lien,
which notice shall consist of a sworn
statement setting out (1) a description of the real estate sufficient for
the identification thereof, upon or for which the service or the benefit
was rendered, (2) the amount or the amounts of money due for such service
or benefit, and (3) the date or dates when such amount or amounts became
delinquent.  The Sanitary District shall have the power to foreclose such
lien in like manner and with like effect as in the foreclosure of mortgages
on real estate.
The foregoing provisions for asserting liens against real estate by the
sanitary district to secure payment of user charges, industrial waste surcharges
or industrial cost recovery charges imposed by the sanitary district shall
be in addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy or right of
recovery, in law or equity, which the sanitary district may have, with respect
to the collection or recovery of such charges imposed by such sanitary district.
Judgment in a civil action brought by the sanitary district to recover or
collect such charges shall not operate as a release and waiver of the lien
upon the real estate for the amount of the judgment.  Only satisfaction
of the judgment or the filing of a release or satisfaction of lien shall
release said lien.  The lien for charges on account of services or benefits
provided for in this Section and the rights created hereunder shall be in
addition to and not in derogation of the lien upon real estate created by
and imposed for general real estate taxes.

Sec. 7a. Discharge into sewers of a sanitary district.
(a) The terms used in this Section are defined as follows:
"Board of Commissioners" means the Board of Commissioners of the sanitary district.
"Sewage" means water-carried human wastes or a combination of water-carried wastes from residences, buildings, businesses, industrial establishments, institutions, or other places together with any ground, surface, storm, or other water that may be present.
"Industrial Wastes" means all solids, liquids, or gaseous wastes resulting from any commercial, industrial, manufacturing, agricultural, trade, or business operation or process, or from the development, recovery, or processing of natural resources.

"Executive Director" means the executive director of the sanitary district.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge sewage, industrial waste, or other wastes into the sewerage system of a sanitary district or into any sewer connected therewith, except upon the terms and conditions that the sanitary district might reasonably impose by way of ordinance, permit, or otherwise.
Any sanitary district, in addition to all other powers vested in it and in the interest of public health and safety, or as authorized by subsections (b) and (c) of Section 46 of the Environmental Protection Act, is hereby empowered to pass all ordinances, rules, or regulations necessary to implement this Section, including but not limited to, the imposition of charges based on factors that influence the cost of treatment, including strength and volume, and including the right of access during reasonable hours to the premises of a person for enforcement of adopted ordinances, rules, or regulations.
(c) Whenever the sanitary district acting through the executive director determines that sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes are being discharged into the sewerage system and when, in the opinion of the executive director the discharge is in violation of an ordinance, rules, or regulations adopted by the Board of Commissioners under this Section governing industrial wastes or other wastes, the executive director shall order the offending party to cease and desist. The order shall be served on the offending party by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, personally, or by email as provided in subsection (m) .
In the event the offending party fails or refuses to discontinue the discharge within 90 days after service of the cease and desist order, the executive director may order the offending party to show cause before the Board of Commissioners of the sanitary district why the discharge should not be discontinued. A notice shall be served directing the offending party to show cause before the Board of Commissioners why an order should not be entered directing the discontinuance of the discharge. The notice shall specify the time and place where a hearing will be held and shall be served on the offending party by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, personally, or by email as provided in subsection (m), at least 10 days before the hearing; and in the case of a unit of local government or a corporation the service shall be upon an officer or agent thereof. After reviewing the evidence, the Board of Commissioners may issue an order to the party responsible for the discharge, directing that within a specified period of time the discharge be discontinued. The Board of Commissioners may also order the party responsible for the discharge to pay a civil penalty in an amount specified by the Board of Commissioners that is not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 per day for each day of discharge of effluent in violation of this Act as provided in subsection (d). The Board of Commissioners may also order the party responsible for the violation to pay court reporter costs and hearing officer fees in a total amount not exceeding $3,000.
(d) The Board of Commissioners shall establish procedures for assessing civil penalties and issuing orders under subsection (c) as follows:
(1) In making its orders and determinations, the     Board of Commissioners shall take into consideration all the facts and circumstances bearing on the activities involved and the assessment of civil penalties as shown by the record produced at the hearing.
(2) The Board of Commissioners shall establish a     panel of independent hearing officers to conduct all hearings on the assessment of civil penalties and issuance of orders under subsection (c). The hearing officers shall be attorneys licensed to practice law in this State.
(3) The Board of Commissioners shall promulgate     procedural rules governing the proceedings, the assessment of civil penalties, and the issuance of orders.
(4) All hearings shall be on the record, and     testimony taken must be under oath and recorded stenographically. Transcripts so recorded must be made available to any member of the public or any party to the hearing upon payment of the usual charges for transcripts. At the hearing, the hearing officer may issue, in the name of the Board of Commissioners, notices of hearing requesting the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relevant to any matter involved in the hearing and may examine witnesses.
(5) The hearing officer shall conduct a full and     impartial hearing on the record, with an opportunity for the presentation of evidence and cross-examination of the witnesses. The hearing officer shall issue findings of fact, conclusions of law, a recommended civil penalty, and an order based solely on the record. The hearing officer may also recommend, as part of the order, that the discharge of industrial waste be discontinued within a specified time.
(6) The findings of fact, conclusions of law,     recommended civil penalty, and order shall be transmitted to the Board of Commissioners along with a complete record of the hearing.
(7) The Board of Commissioners shall either approve     or disapprove the findings of fact, conclusions of law, recommended civil penalty, and order. If the findings of fact, conclusions of law, recommended civil penalty, or order are rejected, the Board of Commissioners shall remand the matter to the hearing officer for further proceedings. If the order is accepted by the Board of Commissioners, it shall constitute the final order of the Board of Commissioners.
(8) (Blank).
(9) The civil penalty specified by the Board of     Commissioners shall be paid within 35 days after the party on whom it is imposed receives a written copy of the order of the Board of Commissioners, unless the person or persons to whom the order is issued seeks judicial review.
(10) If the respondent seeks judicial review of the     order assessing civil penalties, the respondent shall, within 35 days after the date of the final order, pay the amount of the civil penalties into an escrow account maintained by the district for that purpose or file a bond guaranteeing payment of the civil penalties if the civil penalties are upheld on review.
(11) Civil penalties not paid by the times specified     above shall be delinquent and subject to a lien recorded against the property of the person ordered to pay the penalty. The foregoing provisions for asserting liens against real estate by the sanitary district shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy or right of recovery, in law or equity, that the sanitary district may have with respect to the collection or recovery of penalties and charges imposed by the sanitary district. Judgment in a civil action brought by the sanitary district to recover or collect the charges shall not operate as a release and waiver of the lien upon the real estate for the amount of the judgment. Only satisfaction of the judgment or the filing of a release or satisfaction of lien shall release the lien.
(e) The executive director may order a person to cease the discharge of industrial waste upon a finding by the executive director that the final order of the Board of Commissioners entered after a hearing to show cause has been violated. The order shall be served on the offending party by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, personally, or by email as provided in subsection (m). The order of the executive director shall also schedule an expedited hearing before a hearing officer designated by the Board of Commissioners for the purpose of determining whether the company has violated the final order of the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall adopt rules of procedure governing expedited hearings. In no event shall the hearing be conducted less than 7 days after service of the executive director's order on the offending party.
At the conclusion of the expedited hearing, the hearing officer shall prepare a report with his or her findings and recommendations and transmit it to the Board of Commissioners. If the Board of Commissioners, after reviewing the findings and recommendations, and the record produced at the hearings, determines that the person has violated the Board of Commissioner's final order, the Board of Commissioners may authorize the plugging of the sewer. The executive director shall give not less than 10 days written notice of the Board of Commissioner's order to the owner, officer, registered agent, or individual designated by permit, as well as the owner of record of the real estate and other parties known to be affected, that the sewer will be plugged.
The foregoing provision for plugging a sewer shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy, in law or in equity, that the district may have to prevent violation of its ordinances and orders of its Board of Commissioners.
(f) A violation of the final order of the Board of Commissioners shall be considered a nuisance. If any person discharges sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes into any waters contrary to the final order of the Board of Commissioners, the sanitary district acting through the executive director has the power to commence an action or proceeding in the circuit court in and for the county in which the sanitary district is located for the purpose of having the discharge stopped either by mandamus or injunction, or to remedy the violation in any manner provided for in this Section.
The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days after the service of the copy of the complaint, in which the party complained of must plead to the complaint, and in the meantime, the party may be restrained. In case of default or after pleading, the court shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate judgment in respect to the matters complained of. Appeals may be taken as in other civil cases.
(g) The sanitary district, acting through the executive director, has the power to commence an action or proceeding for mandamus or injunction in the circuit court ordering a person to cease its discharge, when, in the opinion of the executive director, the person's discharge presents an imminent danger to the public health, welfare, or safety, presents or may present an endangerment to the environment, or threatens to interfere with the operation of the sewerage system or a water reclamation plant under the jurisdiction of the sanitary district. The initiation of a show cause hearing is not a prerequisite to the commencement by the sanitary district of an action or proceeding for mandamus or injunction in the circuit court. The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days after the service of a copy of the petition, in which the party complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime, the party may be restrained. In case of default in answer or after answer, the court shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate judgment order in respect to the matters complained of. An appeal may be taken from the final judgment in the same manner and with the same effect as appeals are taken from judgment of the circuit court in other actions for mandamus or injunction.
(h) Whenever the sanitary district commences an action under subsection (f) of this Section, the court shall assess a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for each day the person violates a Board order. Whenever the sanitary district commences an action under subsection (g) of this Section, the court shall assess a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for each day the person violates the ordinance. Each day's continuance of the violation is a separate offense. The penalties provided in this Section plus interest at the rate set forth in the Interest Act on unpaid penalties, costs, and fees, imposed by the Board of Commissioners under subsection (d), the reasonable costs to the sanitary district of removal or other remedial action caused by discharges in violation of this Act, reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other expenses of litigation together with costs for inspection, sampling, analysis, and administration related to the enforcement action against the offending party are recoverable by the sanitary district in a civil action.
(i) The Board of Commissioners may establish fees for late filing of reports with the sanitary district required by an ordinance governing discharges. The sanitary district shall provide a written notice of the fee assessment, by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, personally, or by email as provided in subsection (m), that states the person has 30 days after being served with the notice to request a conference with the executive director's designee to discuss or dispute the appropriateness of the assessed fee. Unless a person objects to paying the fee for filing a report late by timely requesting in writing a conference with a designee of the executive director, that person waives his or her right to a conference and the sanitary district may impose a lien recorded against the property of the person for the amount of the unpaid fee.
If a person requests a conference and the matter is not resolved at the conference, the person subject to the fee may request an administrative hearing before an impartial hearing officer appointed under subsection (d) to determine the person's liability for and the amount of the fee.
If the hearing officer finds that the late filing fees are owed to the sanitary district, the sanitary district shall notify the responsible person or persons of the hearing officer's decision. If payment is not made within 30 days after the notice, the sanitary district may impose a lien on the property of the person or persons.
Any liens filed under this subsection shall apply only to the property to which the late filing fees are related. A claim for lien shall be filed in the office of the recorder of the county in which the property is located. The filing of a claim for lien by the district does not prevent the sanitary district from pursuing other means for collecting late filing fees. If a claim for lien is filed, the sanitary district shall notify the person whose property is subject to the lien, and the person may challenge the lien by filing an action in the circuit court. The action shall be filed within 90 days after the person receives the notice of the filing of the claim for lien. The court shall hear evidence concerning the underlying reasons for the lien only if an administrative hearing has not been held under this subsection.
(j) If the provisions of any paragraph of this Section are declared unconstitutional or invalid by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the provisions of the remaining paragraphs continue in effect.
(k) Nothing in this Section eliminates any of the powers now granted to municipalities having a population of 500,000 or more as to design, preparation of plans, and construction, maintenance, and operation of sewers and sewerage systems, or for the control and elimination or prevention of the pollution of their waters or waterways, in the Illinois Municipal Code or any other Act of the State of Illinois.
(l) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law and all amendments and rules adopted pursuant to that Law apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final administrative decisions of the Board of Commissioners in the enforcement of any ordinance, rule, or regulation adopted under this Act.
(m) Solely in relation to the discharge of sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes subject to one of the sanitary district's ordinances, the sanitary district may implement an electronic reporting system that will allow notices, orders, and other documents to be sent directly by email to persons or entities registered with the sanitary district, and, in the discretion of the sanitary district, to allow those persons or entities registered with the sanitary district to view, modify, or submit documents using the electronic reporting system. Wherever this Section provides for service of documents by the sanitary district by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, or personal service, the sanitary district may serve by email the documents upon the registered persons or entities in lieu of service by U.S. first-class mail, U.S. certified mail, or personal service. Enrollment in the electronic reporting system in this subsection is voluntary and limited to nonresidential facilities or uses. Service by email under this Section is only permitted on those persons or entities that voluntarily enroll in the system. The sanitary district shall adopt rules, as approved by ordinance, to ensure service of process by email is properly effectuated upon the registered persons and entities.

proceeding in the circuit court in and for the county in which the district
is located for the purpose of having the pollution stopped and prevented
either by mandamus or injunction. The court shall specify a time, not
exceeding 20 days after the service of the copy of the petition, in which
the party complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime, the
party be restrained. In case of default in answer or after answer, the
court shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances of the

(70 ILCS 2605/7f) (from Ch. 42, par. 326f)
Sec. 7f. Regulation of connecting sewerage systems.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to construct or install
any sewerage system that discharges sewage, industrial wastes, or
other wastes, directly or indirectly, into the sewerage system of the sanitary
district, unless a written permit for the sewerage system has been granted by
the sanitary district acting through the executive director.
The sanitary district shall specify by ordinance the changes, additions, or
extensions to an existing sewerage system that will require a permit.
No changes,
additions, or extensions to any existing sewerage systems discharging sewage,
industrial wastes, or other wastes into the sewerage system of the sanitary
district, that requires a permit, may be made until plans for the changes,
additions, or extensions
have been submitted to and a written permit obtained from the sanitary district
acting through the executive director; provided, however, that this
Section is not applicable in any municipality having a population of more
than 500,000.
(b) Sewerage systems shall be operated in accordance with the ordinances of
the sanitary district.  The Board of Commissioners of any sanitary district is
authorized to
regulate, limit, extend, deny, or otherwise control any new or existing
connection, addition, or extension to any sewer or sewerage system which
directly or indirectly discharges into the sanitary district sewerage system.
The Board shall adopt standards and specifications for construction, operation,
and maintenance.  This Section shall not apply to sewerage systems under the
jurisdiction of any city, village, or incorporated town having a population of
500,000 or more.
(c) The Board of Commissioners of any sanitary district is hereby authorized
to pass all necessary ordinances to carry out the aforementioned powers.  The
ordinances may provide for a civil penalty for each offense of not less than
$100 nor more than $1,000.  Each day's continuance of the violation shall be a
separate offense.  Hearings for violations of the ordinances adopted by the
Board of Commissioners may be conducted by the Board of Commissioners or its
designee.
(d) Plans and specifications for any sewerage system covered by this Act
must be submitted to the sanitary district before a written permit may be
issued and the construction of any sewerage system must be in accordance
with the plans and specifications.  In case it is necessary or desirable to
make material changes in the plans or specifications, the revised plans or
specifications, together with the reasons for the proposed changes, must be
submitted to the sanitary district for a supplemental written permit.
(e) The sanitary district, acting through the executive director, may
require any owner of a sewerage system discharging into the sewerage system of
the sanitary district, to file with it complete plans of the whole or of any
part of the system and any other information and records concerning the
installation and operation of the system.
(f) The sanitary district, acting through the executive director, may
establish procedures for the review of any plans, specifications, or other data
relative to any sewerage system, written permits for which are required by this
Act.
(g) The sanitary district, acting through the executive director, may
adopt and enforce rules and regulations governing the issuance of permits and
the method and manner under which plans, specifications, or other data relative
thereto must be submitted for the sewerage systems or for additions or changes
to or extensions of the systems.
(h) After a hearing on an alleged violation of any such ordinance, the Board
may, in addition to any civil penalty imposed, order any person found to have
committed a violation to reimburse the sanitary district for the costs of the
hearing, including any expenses incurred for inspection, sampling, analysis,
administrative costs, and court reporter's and attorney's fees.  The Board of
Commissioners may also require a person to achieve compliance with the
ordinance within a specified period of time.
The Administrative Review Law, and the rules adopted under that Law, shall
govern proceedings for the judicial review of final orders of the Board of
Commissioners issued under this subsection.
(i) Civil penalties and costs imposed pursuant to this Section are
recoverable by the sanitary district in a civil action.  The sanitary district
is authorized to apply to the circuit court for injunctive relief or mandamus
when, in the opinion of the executive director, the person has failed to
comply with an order of the Board of Commissioners or the relief is necessary
to protect the sewerage system of the sanitary district.
(j) The operation and maintenance of any existing sanitary sewerage system
serving territory that is annexed by a municipality located in a county with a
population of 3,000,000 or more after the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 92nd General Assembly is the responsibility of the municipality to which

(70 ILCS 2605/7h)
Sec. 7h. Stormwater management.
(a) Stormwater management in Cook County shall be under the general
supervision of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater
Chicago.  The District has the authority to plan, manage, implement, and
finance activities relating to stormwater management in Cook County.
The authority of the District with respect to stormwater management extends
throughout Cook County and is not limited to the area otherwise within the
territory and jurisdiction of the District under this Act.
For the purposes of this Section, the term "stormwater management"
includes, without limitation, the management of floods and floodwaters.
(b) The District may utilize the resources of cooperating local watershed
councils (including the stormwater management planning councils created under
Section 5-1062.1 of the Counties Code), councils of local governments, the
Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, and similar organizations and
agencies.  The District may provide those organizations and agencies with
funding, on a contractual basis, for providing information to the District,
providing information to the public, or performing other activities related
to stormwater management.
The District, in addition to other powers vested in it, may negotiate and enter into agreements with any county for the management of stormwater runoff in accordance with subsection (c) of Section 5-1062 of the Counties Code.
The District may enter into intergovernmental agreements with Cook County or
other units of local government that are located in whole or in part outside
the District for the purpose of implementing the stormwater management plan
and providing stormwater management services in areas not included within the
territory of the District.
(c) The District shall prepare and adopt by ordinance a countywide
stormwater management plan for Cook County.  The countywide plan may
incorporate one or more separate watershed plans.
Prior to adopting the countywide stormwater management plan, the District
shall hold at least one public hearing thereon and shall afford interested
persons an opportunity to be heard.
(d) The District may prescribe by ordinance reasonable rules and regulations
for floodplain and stormwater management and for governing the location, width,
course, and release rate of all stormwater runoff channels, streams, and
basins in Cook County, in accordance with the adopted stormwater management
plan.  These rules and regulations shall, at a minimum, meet the standards
for floodplain management established by the Office of Water Resources of the
Department of Natural Resources and the requirements of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
The ordinance adopted by the District under this subsection may provide for a civil penalty for each violation of the ordinance of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, excluding costs and fees that may be assessed under this Section. Each day's continuance of a violation is a separate offense.
(d-5)   Civil penalties assessed by the board of commissioners for violations of an ordinance adopted under subsection (d) shall be assessed following a hearing, which may be conducted by the board of commissioners or its designee, pursuant to procedures adopted by the board of commissioners.  The procedures shall include, at a minimum, the following:
(1) In addition to any civil penalty imposed, the     board of commissioners may order a party found to have committed a violation of an ordinance adopted under subsection (d) to reimburse the District for the costs of the hearing, including any expenses incurred for inspection, sampling, analysis, administrative costs, and court reporter's and attorney's fees, and to comply with the ordinance adopted under subsection (d) within a time specified by the board of commissioners.
(2) Unless the party or parties to whom the order is     issued seek judicial review, the civil penalties, costs, and fees assessed by the board of commissioners under this Section shall be paid by the party or parties in violation no later than the later of (i) 35 days after the party receives a written copy of the order of the board of commissioners imposing the civil penalties, costs, or fees or (ii) the date ordered by the board of commissioners.
(3) If the party assessed a civil penalty seeks     judicial review of the order assessing civil penalties, the party shall, no later than 35 days after the date of the final order, pay the amount of the civil penalties, costs, and fees assessed into an escrow account maintained by the District for that purpose or file a bond guaranteeing payment of the civil penalties, fees, and costs if the civil penalties, fees, and costs are upheld on review.
(4) In addition to recovery under paragraph (5),     civil penalties, fees, and costs not paid by the times specified in this subsection are delinquent and are subject to a lien recorded against the property of the party ordered to pay the civil penalty.
(5) Civil penalties, fees, and costs imposed under     this Section are recoverable by the District in a civil action by all remedies available under the law. Judgment in a civil action brought by the District to recover or collect the civil penalties, fees, and costs does not operate as a release and waiver of a lien upon the real estate for the amount of the judgment. Only satisfaction of the judgment or the filing of a release or satisfaction of lien shall release the lien.
(6) The District may apply to the circuit court for     an injunction or mandamus when, in the opinion of the executive director of the District, the person has failed to comply with an order of the board of commissioners or the relief is necessary to prevent flooding.
The Administrative Review Law governs proceedings for the judicial review of final orders of the board of commissioners issued under this subsection.
(e) The District may impose fees on areas outside the District but within
Cook County for performance of stormwater management services, including but not limited to, maintenance of streams and the development, design, planning, construction, operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities.  The total amount of the fees collected from areas outside of the District but within Cook County shall not exceed the District's annual tax rate for stormwater management within the District multiplied by the aggregate equalized assessed valuation of areas outside of the District but within Cook County. The District may require the unit of local government in which the stormwater services are performed to collect the fee and remit the collected fee to the District. The District is authorized to pay a reasonable administrative fee to the unit of local government for the collection of these fees.  All such fees collected
by the District shall be held in a separate fund and used for implementation of this Section.
(f) Amounts realized from the tax levy for stormwater management purposes
authorized in Section 12 may be used by the District for implementing this
Section and for the development, design, planning, construction, operation, and
maintenance of regional and local stormwater facilities provided for in the stormwater
management plan.
The proceeds of any tax imposed under Section 12 for stormwater management
purposes and any revenues generated as a result of the ownership or operation
of facilities or land acquired with the proceeds of taxes imposed under Section
12 for stormwater management purposes shall be held in a separate fund and used
either for implementing this Section or to abate those taxes.
(g) The District may plan, implement, finance, and operate regional and local
stormwater management projects in accordance with the adopted countywide
stormwater management plan.
The District shall provide for public review and comment on proposed
stormwater management projects.  The District shall conform to State and
federal requirements concerning public information, environmental assessments,
and environmental impacts for projects receiving State or federal funds.
The District may issue bonds under Section 9.6a of this Act for the
purpose of funding stormwater management projects.
The District shall not use Cook County Forest Preserve District land for
stormwater or flood control projects without the consent of the Forest
Preserve District.
The District may acquire, by purchase from a willing seller in a voluntary transaction, real property in furtherance of its regional and local stormwater management activities. Nothing in this Section shall affect the District's powers of condemnation or eminent domain as otherwise set forth in this Act.
(h) Upon the creation and implementation of a county stormwater management
plan, the District may petition the circuit court to dissolve any or all
drainage districts created pursuant to the Illinois Drainage Code or
predecessor Acts that are located entirely within the District.
However, any active drainage district implementing a plan that is consistent
with and at least as stringent as the county stormwater management plan may
petition the District for exception from dissolution.  Upon filing of the
petition, the District shall set a date for hearing not less than 2 weeks, nor
more than 4 weeks, from the filing thereof, and the District shall give at
least one week's notice of the hearing in one or more newspapers of general
circulation within the drainage district, and in addition shall cause a copy
of the notice to be personally served upon each of the trustees of the drainage
district.  At the hearing, the District shall hear the drainage district's
petition and allow the drainage district trustees and any interested parties
an opportunity to present oral and written evidence.  The District shall render
its decision upon the petition for exception from dissolution based upon the
best interests of the residents of the drainage district.  In the event that
the exception is not allowed, the drainage district may file a petition with
the circuit court within 30 days of the decision.  In that case, the notice
and hearing requirements for the court shall be the same as provided in this
subsection for the petition to the District.  The court shall render its
decision of whether to dissolve the district based upon the best interests
of the residents of the drainage district.
The dissolution of a drainage district shall not affect the obligation
of any bonds issued or contracts entered into by the drainage district nor
invalidate the levy, extension, or collection of any taxes or special
assessments upon the property in the former drainage district.  All property
and obligations of the former drainage district shall be assumed and managed
by the District, and the debts of the former drainage district shall be
discharged as soon as practicable.
If a drainage district lies only partly within the District, the District may
petition the circuit court to disconnect from the drainage district that
portion of the drainage district that lies within the District.  The property
of the drainage district within the disconnected area shall be assumed and
managed by the District.  The District shall also assume a portion of the
drainage district's debt at the time of disconnection, based on the portion of
the value of the taxable property of the drainage district which is located
within the area being disconnected.
A drainage district that continues to exist within Cook County shall conform
its operations to the countywide stormwater management plan.
(i) The District may assume responsibility for maintaining any stream
within Cook County.
(j) The District may, after 10 days written notice to the owner or
occupant, enter upon any lands or waters within the county for the purpose
of inspecting stormwater facilities or causing the removal of any obstruction
to an affected watercourse.  The District shall be responsible for any damages
occasioned thereby.
(k) The District shall report to the public annually on its activities and
expenditures under this Section and the adopted countywide stormwater
management plan.
(l) The powers granted to the District under this Section are in addition
to the other powers granted under this Act.  This Section does not limit the
powers of the District under any other provision of this Act or any other law.
(m) This Section does not affect the power or duty of any unit of local
government to take actions relating to flooding or stormwater, so long as those
actions conform with this Section and the plans, rules, and ordinances adopted
by the District under this Section.
A home rule unit located in whole or in part in Cook County
(other than a municipality with a population over 1,000,000)
may not
regulate stormwater management or planning in Cook County in a manner
inconsistent with this Section or the plans, rules, and ordinances adopted by
the District under this Section; provided, within a municipality with a
population over 1,000,000, the stormwater management planning program of Cook
County shall be conducted by that municipality or,
to the extent provided in an intergovernmental agreement between the
municipality and the District, by the District pursuant to this Section;
provided further that the power granted to such municipality shall not be
inconsistent with existing powers of the District.
Pursuant to paragraph (i) of Section 6 of
Article VII of the Illinois Constitution, this Section specifically denies and
limits the exercise of any power that is inconsistent with this Section by a
home rule unit that is a county with a population of 1,500,000 or more or is
located, in whole or in part, within such a county, other than a municipality
with a population over 1,000,000.

(70 ILCS 2605/8) (from Ch. 42, par. 327)
Sec. 8. Except as otherwise in this Act provided, the sanitary district
may acquire by lease, purchase or otherwise within or without its corporate
limits, or by condemnation within its corporate limits, any and all real
and personal property, right of way and privilege that may be required for
its corporate purposes. All moneys for the purchase and condemnation of
any property must be paid before possession is taken, or any work done on
the premises. In case of an appeal from the Court in which the condemnation
proceedings are pending, taken by either party, whereby the amount of damages
is not finally determined, the amount of the judgment in the court shall
be deposited with the county treasurer of the county in which the judgment
is rendered, subject to the payment of damages on orders signed by the judge
whenever the amount of damages is finally determined.
Upon recommendation of the executive director and upon the
approval of the board of trustees when any real or personal property,
right of way or privilege or any interest therein, or any part thereof
of such sanitary district is no longer required for the corporate
purposes of the sanitary district it may be sold, vacated or released.
Such sales, vacations, or releases may be made subject to such
conditions and the retention of such interest therein as may be deemed
for the best interest of such sanitary district as recommended by the executive director
 and approved by the board of trustees.
However, the sanitary district may enter into a lease of a building
or a part thereof, or acquire title to a building already constructed or
to be constructed, for the purpose of securing office space for its
administrative corporate functions, the period of such lease not to
exceed 15 years except as authorized by the provisions of Section 8b of
this Act.  In the event of the purchase of such property for
administrative corporate functions, the sanitary district may execute a
mortgage or other documents of indebtedness as may be required for the
unpaid balance, to be paid in not more than 15 annual installments.
Annual installments on the mortgage or annual payment on the lease shall
be considered a current corporate expense of the year in which they are
to be paid, and the amount of such annual installment or payment shall
be included in the Annual Appropriation and Corporate Tax Levy
Ordinances. Such expense may be incurred, notwithstanding the
provisions, if any applicable, contained in any other Sections of this
Act.
The sanitary district may dedicate to the public for highway purposes
any of its real property and the dedications may be made subject to such
conditions and the retention of such interests therein as considered in
the best interests of the sanitary district by the board of trustees
upon recommendation of the executive director.
The sanitary district may lease to others for any period of time, not
to exceed 99 years, upon the terms as its board of trustees upon
recommendation of the executive director may determine, any such
real property, right-of-way or privilege, or any interest therein or any
part thereof, which is in the opinion of the board of trustees and executive director
 of the sanitary district no longer required for
its corporate purposes or which may not be immediately needed for such
purposes. The leases may contain such terms and conditions, including restrictions as to permissible use of the real property, and retain such
interests therein as considered in the best interests of the sanitary
district by the board of trustees upon recommendation of the executive director. Negotiations and execution of such leases and
preparatory activities in connection therewith must comply with Section
8c of this Act. The sanitary district may grant easements and permits
for the use of any such real property, right-of-way, or privilege, which
will not in the opinion of the board of trustees and executive director of the sanitary district interfere with the use thereof

Notwithstanding any other law, if any surplus real
estate is located in an unincorporated territory and if that real estate is
contiguous to only one municipality, 60 days before the sale of that real
estate, the sanitary district shall notify in writing the contiguous
municipality of the proposed sale.  Prior to the sale of the real estate, the

Sec. 8b. 
		
		In addition to the powers and authority now possessed by such
sanitary district to acquire under lease or otherwise any real or personal
property for corporate purposes, such sanitary district shall have the
power:
(1) To lease from any public building commission created pursuant to the
provisions of the Public Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as
heretofore or hereafter amended, any real or personal property for the
purpose of securing office or other space for its administrative corporate
functions for a period of time not exceeding 40 years;
(2) To pay for the use of this leased property in accordance with the
terms of the lease and with the provisions of the Public Building
Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as heretofore or hereafter amended.
(3) Such lease may be entered into without making a previous
appropriation for the expense thereby incurred; provided, however, that if
the board of trustees of such sanitary district undertakes to pay all or
any part of the costs of operating and maintaining the property of a public
building commission as authorized in subparagraph (4) of this section such
expense of operation and maintenance shall be included in the annual
appropriation ordinance of such sanitary district annually during the term
of such undertaking.
(4) In addition, the board of trustees of such sanitary district may
undertake, either in the lease with a public building commission or by a

(70 ILCS 2605/8c) (from Ch. 42, par. 327c)
Sec. 8c. Every lease of property no longer or not immediately
required for corporate purposes of a sanitary district, from such
district to others for a term not to exceed 99 years, in accordance with
Section 8 of this Act, shall be negotiated, created and executed in the
following manner:
(1) Notice of such proposed leasing shall be     published for 3 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in such sanitary district, if any, and otherwise in the county containing such district.
(2) Prior to receipt of bids for the lease under this     Section, the fair market value of every parcel of real property to be leased must be determined by 2 professional appraisers who are members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or a similar, equivalently recognized professional organization. The sanitary district acting through the executive director may select and engage an additional appraiser for such determination of fair market value. Every appraisal report must contain an affidavit certifying the absence of any collusion involving the appraiser and relating to the lease of such property.
(3) No lease may be awarded unless the bid of such     highest responsible bidder provides for an annual rental payment to the sanitary district of at least 6% of the parcel's fair market value determined under this Section, provided however, if the sanitary district determines that a parcel contains a special development impediment, defined as any condition that constitutes a material impediment to the development or lease of a parcel, and includes, but is not limited to: environmental contamination, obsolescence, or advanced disrepair of improvements or structures, or accumulation of large quantities of non-indigenous materials, the sanitary district may establish a minimum acceptable initial annual rental of less than 6% of the parcel's fair market value for the initial 10 years of the lease. In no event will the annual rental payment for each 10-year period after the initial 10 years of the lease be less than the 6% of the parcel's fair market value determined under this Section. Every lease must be awarded to the highest responsible bidder (including established commercial or industrial concerns and financially responsible individuals) upon free and open competitive bids. In determining the responsibility of any bidder, the sanitary district may consider, in addition to financial responsibility, any  past records of transactions with the bidder and any other pertinent factors, including but not limited to, the bidder's performance or past record  with respect to any lease, use, occupancy, or trespass of sanitary district or other lands.
(4) Prior to acceptance of the bid of the highest     responsible bidder and before execution of the lease the bidder shall submit to the board of commissioners and executive director, for incorporation in the lease, a detailed plan and description of improvements to be constructed upon the leased property, the time within which the improvements will be completed, and the intended uses of the leased property.  If there is more than one responsible bid, the board of commissioners may authorize and direct the executive director to solicit from the 2 highest responsible bidders written amendments to their prior bids, increasing their rental bid proposal by at least 5% in excess of their prior written bid, or otherwise amending the financial terms of their bid so as to maximize the financial return to the sanitary district during the term of the proposed lease.  Upon the executive director's tentative agreement with one or more amended bids, the bids may be submitted to the board of commissioners with the recommendation of the executive director  for acceptance of one or rejection of all.  The amendments may not result in a diminution of the terms of the transaction and must result in an agreement that is equal to or greater in value than the highest responsible bid initially received.
(5) The execution of such lease must be     contemporaneous to the execution by the lessee, each member of the board of commissioners and the executive director  of an affidavit certifying the absence of any collusion involving the lessee, the members and the executive director and relating to such lease.
(6) No later than 30 days after the effective date of     the lease, the lessee must deliver to the sanitary district a certified statement of the County Assessor, Township Assessor or the county clerk of the county wherein the property is situated that such property is presently contained in the official list of lands and lots to be assessed for taxes for the several towns or taxing districts in his county.
(7) Such lease may be subject to annual adjustments     based on changes in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or some other well known economic governmental activity index.  Any lease, the term of which will extend for 15 years or more, shall provide for a redetermination of the fair market value (independent of improvements to the property subsequent to the effective date of the lease) after the initial 10 years and every 10 years thereafter, in the manner set forth in paragraph (2) of this Section, which redetermination shall be referred to as the decennial adjustment.  Where the property rental is less than 6% of fair market value due to the existence of a special development impediment, the first decennial adjustment shall not occur until the twentieth year of the lease. Such  redetermination shall be as of the first day of each succeeding 10 year period, and annual rental payments shall be adjusted so that the ratio of annual rental to fair market value shall be the same as that ratio for the first year of the preceding 10 year period. The decennial adjustment shall not exceed 100%  of the rental in effect on the last day of the preceding 10-year period,  except when  the property rental is less than 6% of fair market value due to the existence of a special development impediment, in which case, the decennial adjustment shall not be so limited until the twentieth year of the lease.  The rental payment for the first year of the new 10 year period may be subject to Consumer Price Index or other allowable index adjustments for each of the next 9 years, or until the end of the lease term if there are less than 9 years remaining.
(8) A sanitary district may require compensation to     be paid in addition to rent, based on a reasonable percentage of revenues derived from a lessee's business operations on the leasehold premises or subleases, or may require additional compensation from the lessee or any sublessee in the form of services, including but not limited to solid waste disposal; provided, however, that such additional compensation shall not be considered in determining the highest responsible bid, said highest responsible bid to be determined only on the initial annual rental payment as set forth in paragraph (3) of this Section.
(9) No assignment of such lease or sublease of such     property is effective unless approved in writing by the executive director and the board of commissioners of the sanitary district. The district may consider, for any assignment or sublease,    all pertinent factors including  the assignee's or sublessee's responsibility in accordance with  subparagraph (3) of this Section.  The sanitary district  may also condition its consent upon the redetermination of the annual rental required to be paid  under any lease initially executed on or before January 1, 1983, for which  the annual rent being paid thereunder is less than 6% of the current appraised fair market value of the leased property.  The redetermination of  any  annual rental under this Section  shall be consistent  with the requirements of subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this Section. No assignment or sublease is effective if the assignee or sublessee is a trust constituted by real property of which the trustee has title but no power of management or control, unless the identity of the beneficiaries of the trust is revealed, upon demand, to the executive director and the board of commissioners of the sanitary district.
(10) Failure by the lessee to comply with a provision     in the lease relating to improvements upon the leased property or any other provision constitutes grounds for forfeiture of the lease, and upon such failure the sanitary district acting through the executive director shall serve the lessee with a notice to terminate the lease and deliver possession of the property to the sanitary district within a particular period.
(11) If the executive director and the board of     commissioners conclude that it would be in the public interest, said sanitary district may lease without complying with the prior provisions of this Section, in accordance with an Act concerning "Transfer of Real Estate between Municipal Corporations", approved July 2, 1925, as amended, to the following, upon such terms as may be mutually agreeable: (a) the United States of America and the State of Illinois, County of Cook, any municipal corporation, with provisions that the property is to be applied exclusively for public recreational purposes or other public purposes; (b) any academic institution of learning which has been in existence for 5 years prior to said lease, provided that such lease limit the institution's use of the leased land to only those purposes relating to the operation of such institution's academic or physical educational programs; or (c) any lease involving  land located in a county with a population of 100,000 or less and which is leased solely for agricultural or commercial recreational uses. Any lease issued in accordance with this paragraph shall contain the provisions that such lease is terminable in accordance with service of a one-year notice to terminate after determination by the board of commissioners and the executive director that such property (or part thereof) has become essential to the corporate purposes of the sanitary district.

(4) The structure is otherwise in compliance with all     applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and policies of any governmental body having jurisdiction of the real estate, the parties involved with the structure, or the activity of any of the parties involved.
(5) The Director of Engineering and the Director of     the Maintenance and Operations Department of the District have determined that the structure will not interfere with the District's execution of its corporate purposes or functions and that the existence of the structure will not hamper or obstruct the hydraulic flows in the channel prism.
(6) No expansion, extension, or enlargement of the     structure is permitted after the date of conveyance of the channel prism segment by the District to the adjacent real property owner.

		From and after April 1, 1958, the corporate authorities of
any such sanitary district may by ordinance, establish a fund to be
known as a "corporate working cash fund" which shall be maintained and
administered in the manner provided by this Act for the purpose of
enabling said corporate authorities to have in the treasury at all times
sufficient money to meet demands thereon for ordinary and necessary
expenditures for corporate purposes.
The corporate authorities may incur an indebtedness and issue bonds
therefor in an amount, when added to (a) proceeds from the sale of bonds
previously issued to create or increase the working cash fund (b) any
amounts collected from the corporate working cash levy and (c) amounts
transferred from the construction working cash fund, will not exceed
90% of the amount produced by multiplying the maximum corporate tax rate
permitted under this Act by the last known equalized assessed valuation
of all property within the territorial boundaries of the sanitary
district at the time any bonds are issued plus 90% of the last
known
entitlement of such district to such taxes as by law now or hereafter
enacted or amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State of
Illinois to replace revenue lost by units of local government and school
districts as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property
taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the
State of Illinois.   The bonds shall mature within 20 years from the date of
issuance
and shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding that permitted
by "An Act to authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences
of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest rate
limitations
set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as amended.
In order to authorize and issue such bonds, the corporate authorities
shall adopt an ordinance designating the purpose and fixing the date and
the amount of the bonds proposed to be issued, the maturity thereof, the
rate of interest thereon, place of payment and denomination, and provide
for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable
property of the sanitary district sufficient to pay and discharge the
principal thereof at maturity, and to pay the interest thereon as it
falls due. Upon the filing in the office of the county clerk of the
county where the sanitary district is located of a certified copy of any
such ordinance, the county clerk shall extend the tax therein provided
for.
Said bonds may be issued by the corporate authorities without
submitting the question of issuance to the legal voters of such sanitary
district for approval.
Before or at the time of issuing said corporate working cash fund
bonds the corporate authorities shall, by ordinance provide for the
collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property of the
sanitary district sufficient to pay and discharge the principal thereof
at maturity, and to pay the interest thereon as it falls due. Upon the
filing in the office of the county clerk of the county where the
sanitary district is located of a certified copy of any such ordinance,
the county clerk shall extend the tax therein provided for.
All moneys derived from the issuance of said corporate working cash
fund bonds pursuant to this Amendatory Act of 1957, when received by the
treasurer of the district, shall be set apart in the corporate working
cash fund. The moneys in such fund shall not be regarded as current
assets available for appropriation and shall not be appropriated by the
corporate authorities in the annual sanitary district budget, but in
order to provide moneys with which to meet ordinary and necessary
disbursements for salaries and other corporate purposes may be
transferred, in whole or in part, to the corporate fund of the sanitary
district and so disbursed therefrom in anticipation of the collection of
any taxes lawfully levied for corporate purposes or in the anticipation
of the receipt of such taxes, as by law now or hereafter enacted or
amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois to
replace revenue lost by units of local government and school districts
as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes,
pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of
Illinois. Moneys transferred to the corporate fund in anticipation of
the collection of taxes shall be deemed to have been transferred in
anticipation of the collection of that part of the taxes so levied which
is in excess of the amount or amounts thereof required to pay any
warrants or notes, and the interest thereon theretofore or thereafter
issued, and such taxes levied for corporate purposes when collected
shall be applied first to the payment of any such warrants or notes and
the interest thereon and then to the reimbursement of the corporate
working cash fund as hereinafter provided. Upon the receipt by the
treasurer of the sanitary district of any taxes in anticipation of the
collection or receipt whereof moneys of the corporate working cash fund
have been so transferred for disbursement, such fund shall immediately
be reimbursed therefrom until the full amount so transferred has been
retransferred to said fund. If the taxes in anticipation of the
collection of which such transfers are made are not collected in
sufficient amounts to effect a complete reimbursement of the working
cash fund within the second budget year following the year in which
said transfer was made, of the amounts transferred from the corporate
working cash fund to the corporate fund, the deficiencies between the
amounts thus transferred and the amounts repaid from collection shall be
general obligations of the corporate fund until repaid either from taxes

Moneys shall be transferred from the corporate working cash fund to
the corporate fund only upon the authority of the corporate authorities,
which shall by resolution direct the treasurer of the sanitary district
to make such transfers. The resolution shall set forth (a) the taxes or

corporate working cash fund is to be reimbursed, (b) for a transfer in
anticipation of the extension of real estate taxes, the entire amount of
taxes extended, or which the board shall estimate will be extended, for
any year by the county clerk upon the books of the collectors of state
and county taxes within the sanitary district in anticipation of all or
part of which such transfer is to be made, (c) for a transfer in
anticipation of such taxes, hereinabove referred to, to replace revenue
lost by units of local government and school districts as a result of
the abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes, the amount of such
taxes which the board shall estimate will be received, (d) the aggregate

the aggregate amount of receipts from taxes imposed to replace revenue lost
by units of local government and school districts as a result of the abolition
of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c)

government
entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and (f)

resolution shall direct the treasurer of the sanitary district so to
transfer in anticipation of the collection of taxes levied or to be
received for any year, together with the aggregate amount of such
anticipation tax warrants or notes theretofore drawn against such taxes,

Sec. 9c. 
		
		The corporate authorities of any such sanitary district may
by ordinance establish a fund to be known as a "construction working cash
fund" which shall be maintained and administered in the manner provided
by this Act for the purpose of enabling said corporate authorities to have
in the treasury at all times sufficient money to meet demands thereon for
ordinary and necessary expenditures for construction purposes as defined
in Section 5.2 of this Act.
To create the construction working cash fund, the corporate authorities
may incur an indebtedness and issue bonds therefor in an amount which, when
added to any amounts accumulated from tax collections under Section 9cc
of this Act, will not exceed 90% of the amount produced by
multiplying the
maximum tax rate permitted under this Act for construction purposes by the
last known assessed valuation of all taxable property within the territorial
boundaries of the sanitary district as equalized and determined for State
and local taxes at the time any bonds are issued, plus 90% of the
construction
fund allocation from the last known entitlement of such sanitary district
from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund under Section 12 of "An
Act in relation to State revenue sharing with local governmental entities",
approved July 31, 1969, as amended.  The bonds shall mature within 20 years
from the date of issuance and shall bear interest at a rate or rates not
exceeding that permitted by "An Act to authorize public corporations to
issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26,
1970, as amended.
In order to authorize and issue such bonds, the corporate authorities shall
adopt an ordinance designating the purpose and fixing the date and the amount
of the bonds proposed to be issued, the maturity thereof, the rate of interest
thereon, place of payment and denomination; and provide for the levy and
collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property of the sanitary
district sufficient to pay and discharge the principal thereof at maturity,
and to pay the interest thereon as it falls due.  Upon the filing in the
office of the county clerk of the county where the sanitary district is
located of a certified copy of any such ordinance, the county clerk shall
extend the tax therein provided for.
Said bonds may be issued by the corporate authorities without submitting the
question of issuance to the legal voters of such sanitary district for approval.
All moneys derived from the issuance of said construction working cash
fund bonds pursuant to this Amendatory Act of 1985, when received by the
treasurer of the district, shall be set apart in the construction working
cash fund.  The moneys in such fund shall not be regarded as current assets
available for appropriation and shall not be appropriated by the corporate
authorities in the annual sanitary district budget, but in order to provide
moneys with which to meet ordinary and necessary disbursements for salaries
and other construction purposes may be transferred, in whole or in part,
to the construction fund of the sanitary district and so disbursed therefrom
in anticipation of the collection of any taxes lawfully levied for construction
purposes or in the anticipation of the receipt of such sanitary district's
entitlement from the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund under Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State revenue
sharing with local governmental entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended.
Upon the receipt by the treasurer of the sanitary district of any taxes
or entitlements in anticipation of the collection or receipt whereof moneys
of the construction working cash fund have been so transferred for
disbursement, such fund shall immediately be reimbursed therefrom until the
full amount so transferred has been retransferred to said fund.  If the
taxes or entitlements
in anticipation of the collection of which such transfers are made are not
collected in sufficient amounts to effect a complete reimbursement of the
construction working cash fund within the second budget year following the
year in which said transfer was made of the amounts transferred from the
construction working cash fund to the construction fund, the deficiencies
between the amounts thus transferred and the amounts repaid shall be general
obligations of the construction fund until repaid either from taxes or
entitlements in anticipation of which such transfers were made or from
appropriations which may be made in annual sanitary district budgets of
sums of money to apply on such general obligations.
Moneys shall be transferred from the construction working cash fund to
the construction fund only upon the authority of the corporate authorities,
which shall by resolution direct the treasurer of the sanitary district
to make transfers.  The resolution shall set forth (a) the entire amount
of real estate taxes extended or estimated to be extended from which the
construction working cash fund
will be reimbursed, (b) the estimated amount of the construction fund
allocation of the sanitary district's entitlement of the Personal Property
Tax Replacement Fund from which the construction working cash fund will be
reimbursed, and (c) the aggregate amount of moneys theretofore transferred
from the construction working cash fund to the construction fund in
anticipation of the collection of such taxes or entitlements.  The amount
which the resolution shall direct the treasurer of the sanitary district to
transfer in anticipation of the collection of taxes levied or the receipt
of the construction fund allocation of the entitlement for any year, when
added to the aggregate amount of any such transfers theretofore made, shall
not exceed the aggregate of 100% of the actual or estimated amount
of such
taxes extended or to be extended plus 100% of that part of the
entitlement
estimated to be received from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund
to be allocated to the construction fund, as set forth in the resolution.
Any member of the board of commissioners of said sanitary district or any
officer thereof or any other person holding any other position of trust or
employment under the said board, who is guilty of the wilful violation of
any of the provisions of this Amendatory Act of 1985, shall be guilty of a
business offense and shall be fined not exceeding $10,000 and shall forfeit
the right to his office, trust or employment and shall be removed
therefrom.  Any such member, officer or person shall be liable for any sum
that may be unlawfully diverted from the construction working cash fund or
otherwise used, to be recovered by the corporate authorities of said
sanitary district or by any taxpayer in the name and for the benefit of
said board of commissioners in an appropriate civil action.  A taxpayer so
suing shall file a bond for and shall be liable for, all costs, taxed
against the board of commissioners in such a suit.  Nothing herein shall
bar any other remedies.

Upon the receipt by the treasurer of the sanitary district of any taxes in anticipation of the collection of which moneys of the stormwater working cash fund have been so transferred for disbursement, that fund shall immediately be reimbursed from those taxes until the full amount so transferred has been retransferred to the fund. If the taxes in anticipation of the collection of which such a transfer was made are not collected in sufficient amounts to effect a complete reimbursement of the stormwater working cash fund within the second budget year following the year in which the transfer was made, the deficiencies between the amounts so transferred and the amounts repaid shall be general obligations of the stormwater fund until repaid from taxes in anticipation of which such transfers were made or from appropriations which may be made in annual sanitary district budgets of sums of money to apply on such general obligations.

other obligations heretofore or herein authorized, bonds, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness for such purposes in an aggregate
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed 3.35% of the equalized

part, from the corporate fund.
Such obligations shall be issued from time to time only in amounts as may
be required for such purposes but the amount of such obligations issued during
any one budget year shall not exceed $150,000,000 plus
the amount of any obligations authorized by this Act to be issued during the 3

payment, from the funds derived from the sale of bonds for the permanent
financing, or from other available funds, or a combination thereof.  The
corporate authorities, in their discretion, may provide for the levy and
collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property in the

interest on the notes, shall be used to pay interest on the bonds. The
notes shall be surrendered for payment and cancellation when the bonds are
issued, or when other funds are made available for the payment of such
notes and the interest thereon.  The notes may also be refunded by the
issuance of refunding notes or may be renewed upon mutual agreement with
the holder of the notes.

Sec. 9.6c. Local Government Assistance Program; bonds.
(a) The General Assembly finds that governmental units located within the
boundaries of the district require assistance in financing the cost of repair,
replacement, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of local sewer collection
systems to reduce certain excessive sanitary sewer groundwater inflows; that
such inflows ultimately result in increased need for treatment and storage
facilities of the district; and that the district, in the discretion of its
commissioners, advantageously may provide loan funds for such purposes.
(b) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth, as follows:
The following terms shall have the meanings given to     them in the Local Government Debt Reform Act:  (A) "alternate bonds"; (B) "applicable law"; (C) "bonds"; (D) "general obligation bonds"; (E) "governmental unit"; (F) "ordinance"; and (G) "revenue source".
"Assistance bonds" means the bonds to be issued by     the district to provide funds for the program as authorized in subsection (f) of this Section.
"Assistance program" means the program authorized in     this Section by which the district may make loans to local governmental units for any one or more of the following undertaken with respect to the repair, replacement, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of local sewer collection systems: preliminary planning, engineering, architectural, legal, fiscal or economic investigations or studies, surveys, designs, plans, working drawings, specifications, procedures or other necessary actions, erection, building acquisition, alteration, remodeling, or improvement of such collection systems, or the inspection or supervision of any of the foregoing.
"Loan" means a loan made by the district to a local     governmental unit under the assistance program.
"Local governmental unit" means a governmental unit     within the boundaries of the district.
"Reconstruction" shall include the construction of     totally new lines or systems if reasonably designed to replace obsolete lines or systems.
(c) The commissioners may establish an assistance program.
(d) The commissioners are authorized to do any one or more of the following
with respect to the assistance program:
(1) Establish the assistance program as a use or     appropriation within the corporate fund of the district.
(2) Accept grants, borrow funds, and appropriate     lawfully available funds for the purpose of funding the assistance program.
(3) Make the loans as provided in subsection (e).
(4) Enforce loans with all available remedies as any     governmental unit or private person might have with respect to such loans.
(e) The district shall have the power to make loans and local governmental
units shall have the power to obtain loans from the district, but only if
authorized to borrow under such powers as may be granted to such local
governmental units under other applicable law.  This Section does not grant
local governmental units separate borrowing power.  If authorized to issue
bonds under such applicable law, however, the form of the borrowing may be such
as the district and the local governmental unit may agree, including, without
limitation, a loan agreement made between the district and local governmental
unit to evidence the bond.  Any such loan agreement shall state the statutory
authority under applicable law for the bond it represents but otherwise need
not be in any specific form.  The district shall have all rights and remedies
available to the holder of a bond otherwise issued in the form provided for
same under applicable law and also such rights and remedies as may be
additionally available under subsection (d)(4) of this Section.
The loans may be made upon such terms and at such rates, including expressly
below market rates, representing a subsidy of funds from the district to the
local governmental units, as the district may specify in the loan agreements.
(f) The district may borrow money and issue its
assistance bonds under this Section 9.6c for the purpose of funding the
assistance program, which bonds shall be alternate bonds payable from any
lawfully available revenue source, including without limitation receipts
from the loans.

Sec. 9.6d. Other Post Employment Benefit Trusts. The Board of Commissioners (the Board) may establish one or more trusts (Other Post Employment Benefit ("OPEB") Trusts) for the purpose of providing for the funding and payment of health and other fringe benefits for retired or terminated employees of the District or employees of the District with disabilities or for their dependents and beneficiaries. Trusts created under this Section are in addition to pension benefits for those persons which are currently funded pursuant to Article 13 of the Illinois Pension Code.  The OPEB Trusts may employ such personnel and enter into such investment, advisory, or professional services or similar contracts as deemed appropriate by the trustees and recommended by the Treasurer of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (the District).  The OPEB Trusts may be established in such manner so as to be exempt from taxation under the provisions of applicable federal and State tax laws.  The trustee of the OPEB Trusts shall be the   District. The Treasurer of the District and the trustee shall be indemnified by the District to the fullest extent permitted by law for their actions taken with respect to the OPEB Trust.  The Board may deposit money with the OPEB Trusts derived from the funds of the District  from time to time as such money may in the discretion of the Board be appropriated for that purpose; and, in addition, the Board may lawfully agree with the OPEB Trusts to a binding level of funding for periods of time not to exceed 5 fiscal years.  In addition, the OPEB Trust documents may permit employees of the District to contribute money to provide for such benefits.  To the extent participants do not direct the investment of their own account, the assets of the OPEB Trusts shall be managed   by the Treasurer of the District in any manner, subject only to the prudent investor standard and any requirements of applicable federal law. The limitations of any other statute affecting the investment of District funds shall not apply to the OPEB Trusts.  The trustee shall adopt an investment policy consistent with the standards articulated in Section 2.5 of the Public Funds Investment Act.  The investment policy shall also provide for the availability of training for Board members. Funds of the OPEB Trusts may be used to pay for costs of administering the OPEB Trusts and for the benefits for which such trusts have been established in accordance with the terms of the OPEB Trust documents.

Sec. 10.1. 
		
		Every sanitary district shall also have the power to construct a
sewerage system or drainage system to serve a particular locality within
its corporate limits or to extend or improve an existing sewerage system or
drainage system, for the purpose of serving a particular locality within
the sanitary district not theretofore served by its existing sewerage
system or drainage system, and to pay the cost thereof by the issuance and
sale of revenue bonds of the sanitary district, payable solely from the
revenue derived from the operation of the sewerage system or drainage
system, constructed or acquired for that particular locality, or from the
revenue to be derived from the operation of the improvements and extensions
of an existing system.
These bonds may be issued for maturities not exceeding 40 years from the
date of the bonds and in such amounts as may be necessary to provide
sufficient funds to pay all the costs of the improvement, or extension, or
construction, or acquisition for improvement and extension of the sewerage
system or drainage system, including engineering, legal and other expenses,
together with interest, to a date 6 months subsequent to the estimated date
of completion. These bonds shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding
that permitted by "An Act to authorize public corporations to issue bonds,
other evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to
interest rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as
amended, payable semi-annually. Bonds issued under this Act are
negotiable instruments. They shall be executed by the presiding officer and
clerk of the sanitary district, or such other officer or officers as the
trustees may, by resolution, designate, and shall be sealed with the
sanitary district corporate seal. In case any officer whose signature
appears on the bonds or coupons ceases to hold that office before the bonds
are delivered, his signature nevertheless, shall be valid and sufficient
for all purposes, the same as though he had remained in office until the
bonds were delivered. The bonds shall be sold in such manner and upon such
terms as the board of trustees shall determine.
Bonds issued under this section are payable from revenue derived from
the operation of that sewerage system or drainage system or improvement or
extension. These bonds shall not, in any event, constitute an indebtedness
of the sanitary district, within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory limitation, and it shall be so stated on the face of each bond.
The face of each bond shall also contain a description of the locality for
which that system or improvement or extension is constructed and acquired.

desiring to be heard on the subject of the construction or acquisition of

(Source: Laws 1955, p. 677.)
(70 ILCS 2605/10.5) (from Ch. 42, par. 329e)
Sec. 10.5. 
		
		If after the public hearing the board of trustees of the
sanitary district adopts a resolution to proceed with the construction
or acquisition of the project, the board of trustees has the power to
make and enforce all needful rules and regulations in connection with
the construction, acquisition, improvement, or extension, and with the
management and maintenance of the project to be constructed or acquired.
The board of trustees also has the power to establish the rate or charge
to each user of the sewerage system or drainage system, or improvement
or extension at a rate which will be sufficient to pay the principal and
interest of any bonds, issued to pay the cost thereof, maintenance, and
operation of the system, improvement or extension and to provide an
adequate depreciation fund therefor. Charges or rates shall be
established, revised, and maintained by ordinance and become payable as
the board of trustees may determine by ordinance. Such charges or rates
shall be liens upon the real estate upon or for which sewerage service
or drainage system is supplied; provided, however, such liens shall not
attach to such real estate until such charges or rates have become
delinquent as provided by the ordinance of the sanitary district fixing
a delinquency date.  A lien is created under the preceding sentence only if the
sanitary district sends to the owner or owners of record of the real estate, as
referenced by the taxpayer's identification number, (i) a copy of each
delinquency notice sent to the person who is delinquent in paying the charges
or rates or other notice sufficient to inform the owner or owners of record, as
referenced by the taxpayer's identification number, that the charges or rates
have become delinquent and (ii) a notice that unpaid charges or rates may
create a lien on the real estate under this Section. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed to give the sanitary district a preference over the rights
of any purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising
prior to the filing in the office of the recorder of the county in which real
estate is located, or in the office of the registrar of titles of such county
if the property affected is registered under the Torrens System, of notice of
said lien.  The notice shall constitute a sworn statement setting out (1) a
description of the real estate sufficient for the identification thereof, upon
or for which the sewerage service or drainage system was supplied, (2) the
amount or amounts of money due for such sewerage or drainage service, and (3)
the date or dates when such amount or amounts became delinquent. The sanitary
district shall send a copy of the notice of the lien to the owner or owners of
record of the real estate, as referenced by the taxpayer's identification
number. The sanitary district shall have the power to foreclose such lien in
like manner and with like effect as in the foreclosure of mortgages on real
estate.
The sanitary district also has the power, from time to time, to sue
the occupant or user of the real estate in a civil action to recover the
money due for sewerage or drainage service, plus a reasonable attorney's
fee by the court. However, whenever a judgment is obtained in such a
civil action, the foregoing provision of this section with respect to
filing sworn statements of such delinquencies in the office of the
recorder and creating a lien against the real estate shall not
be effective as to the charges sued upon and no lien shall exist
thereafter against the real estate for that delinquency. Judgment in
such a civil action operates as a release and waiver of the lien upon
the real estate for the amount of the judgment. The charge provided in
this section to be made against each user of an improvement or extension
shall be in addition to the charge, if any, made of all users of the
system, and shall be kept separate and distinct therefrom.

and made by or on behalf of the sanitary district for labor, services or work,
the

supplies, or the granting of any concession, shall be let by free and
open competitive bidding after advertisement, to the lowest responsible
bidder or to the highest responsible bidder, as the case may be,
depending upon whether the sanitary district is to expend or receive
money.
All such purchase orders or contracts which shall involve amounts
that will not exceed the mandatory competitive bid
threshold, shall also be let in the manner prescribed
above whenever practicable, except that after solicitation of bids, such
purchase orders or contracts may be let in the open market, in a manner
calculated to insure the best interests of the public. The provisions of
this section are subject to any contrary provisions contained in "An Act
concerning the use of Illinois mined coal in certain plants and institutions",
filed July 13, 1937, as heretofore and hereafter amended.
For purposes of this Section, the "mandatory competitive bid threshold" is a
dollar
amount equal to 0.1% of the total general fixed assets of the district as
reported in the
most recent required audit report.  In no event, however, shall the mandatory
competitive
bid threshold dollar amount be less than $10,000 or more than $40,000.
If a unit of local government performs non-emergency construction, alteration, repair, improvement, or maintenance work on the public way, the sanitary district may enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the unit of local government allowing similar construction work to be performed by the sanitary district on the same project, in an amount no greater than $100,000, to save taxpayer funds and eliminate duplication of government effort. The sanitary district and the other unit of local government shall,  before work is performed by either unit of local government on a project, adopt a resolution by a majority vote of both governing bodies certifying work will occur at a specific location, the reasons why both units of local government require work to be performed in the same location, and the projected cost savings if work is performed by both units of local government on the same project.  Officials or employees of the sanitary district may, if authorized by resolution, purchase in the open market any supplies, materials, equipment, or services for use within the project in an amount no greater than $100,000 without advertisement or without filing a requisition or estimate. A full written account of each project performed by the sanitary district and a requisition for the materials, supplies, equipment, and services used by the sanitary district required to complete the project must be submitted by the officials or employees authorized to make purchases to the board of trustees of the sanitary district no later than 30 days after purchase. The full written account must be available for public inspection for at least one year after expenditures are made.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the sanitary district is
expressly authorized to establish such procedures as it deems appropriate
to comply with state or federal regulations as to affirmative action and
the utilization of small and minority businesses in construction and
procurement
contracts.

Sec. 12. Power to levy taxes. The board of commissioners annually may levy taxes for
corporate purposes upon property within the territorial limits of such
sanitary district, the aggregate amount of which, exclusive of the
amount levied for (a) the payment of bonded indebtedness and the
interest on bonded indebtedness (b) employees' annuity and benefit
purposes (c) construction purposes, and (d) for the purpose of
establishing and maintaining a reserve fund for the payment of claims,
awards, losses, judgments, liabilities, settlements, or demands and associated attorney's fees and costs that might be imposed on or incurred by such
sanitary district in matters including, but not limited to, the Workers' Compensation Act or the Workers'
Occupational Diseases Act, any claim in tort, any claim of deprivation of any constitutional or statutory right or protection, for all expenses, fees, and costs, both direct and in support of the repair or replacement of any property owned by such sanitary
district which is damaged by fire, flood, explosion, vandalism or any
other peril, natural or manmade, shall not exceed the sum produced by
extending the rate of
.46% for each of the years 1979 through 2004 and by extending the rate of 0.41% for the year 2005 and each year thereafter, upon the assessed
valuation of all taxable property within the sanitary district as
equalized and determined for State and local taxes.
In addition, for stormwater management purposes, including but not limited to those provided in subsection (f) of Section 7(h), the board of commissioners may levy taxes for the year 2005 and each year thereafter at a rate not to exceed 0.05% of the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the District as equalized and determined for State and local taxes.
And in addition
thereto, for construction purposes as defined in Section 5.2 of this
Act, the board of commissioners may levy taxes for the year 1985 and
each year thereafter which shall be at a rate not to exceed .10%
of the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the sanitary
district as equalized and determined for State and local taxes.  Amounts
realized from taxes so levied for construction purposes shall be limited
for use to such purposes and shall not be
available for appropriation or used to defray the cost of repairs to or
expense of maintaining or operating existing or future facilities, but
such restrictions, however, shall not apply to additions, alterations,
enlargements, and replacements which will add appreciably to the value,
utility, or the useful life of said facilities.  Such rates shall be
extended against the assessed valuation of the taxable property within
the corporate limits as the same shall be assessed and equalized for the
county taxes for the year in which  the levy is made and said board
shall cause the amount to be raised by taxation in each year to be
certified to the county clerk on or before the thirtieth day of March;
provided, however, that if during the budget year the General Assembly
authorizes an increase in such rates, the board of commissioners may
adopt a supplemental levy and shall make such certification to the
County Clerk on or before the thirtieth day of December.
For the purpose of establishing and maintaining a reserve fund for
the payment of claims, awards, losses, judgments, liabilities, settlements, or demands and associated attorney's fees and costs that 
might be imposed on or incurred by such sanitary district in matters including, but not limited to, the Workers'
Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, any
claim in tort, any claim of deprivation of any constitutional or statutory right or protection, for all expenses, fees, and costs, both direct and in support of any property owned by
such sanitary district which is damaged by fire, flood, explosion,
vandalism or any other peril, natural or man-made, such sanitary
district may also levy annually upon all taxable property within its
territorial limits a tax not to exceed .005% of the assessed valuation
of said taxable property as equalized and determined for State and local
taxes; provided, however, the aggregate amount which may be accumulated
in such reserve fund shall not exceed .05% of such assessed valuation.
All taxes so levied and certified shall be collected and enforced in
the same manner and by the same officers as State and county taxes, and
shall be paid over by the officer collecting the same to the treasurer
of the sanitary district, in the manner and at the time provided by the
general revenue law. No part of the taxes hereby authorized shall be
used by such sanitary district for the construction of permanent, fixed,
immovable bridges across any channel constructed under the provisions of
this Act. All bridges built across such channel shall not necessarily
interfere with or obstruct the navigation of such channel, when the same
becomes a navigable stream, as provided in Section 24 of this Act, but
such bridges shall be so constructed that they can be raised, swung or
moved out of the way of vessels, tugs, boats or other water craft
navigating such channel. Nothing in this Act shall be so construed as to
compel said district to maintain or operate said bridges, as movable
bridges, for a period of 9 years from and after the time when the water
has been turned into said channel pursuant to law, unless the needs of
general navigation of the Des Plaines and Illinois Rivers, when
connected by said channel, sooner require it. In levying taxes the board
of commissioners, in order to produce the net amount required by the
levies for payment of bonds and interest thereon, shall include an
amount or rate estimated to be sufficient to cover losses in collection
of taxes, the cost of collecting taxes, abatements in the amount of such
taxes as extended on the collector's books and the amount of such taxes
collection of which will be deferred; the amount so added for the
purpose of producing the net amount required shall not exceed any
applicable maximum tax rate or amount.

hereunder, shall be the same, as nearly as may be, as is prescribed by
Article 9, Division 2, or Article 9, Division 3, of the "Illinois Municipal
Code", approved May 29, 1961, subject to any restrictions appearing in such
divisions. However, once an improvement is begun under the procedures of
one of these Divisions it must be completed pursuant to the procedure of
that Division. Whenever in the referred to Act the words "city council" or
"corporate authorities" are used, the same shall apply to the board of
trustees constituted by this Act, and the words applying to the
municipality or its officers in that Article shall be held to apply to the
corporation hereby created and to its officers.

		When any assessment is made under this act, the ordinance
authorizing such assessment may provide that it be divided into equal
annual installments, not more than twenty in number, and fix the amount and
time of payment of each installment, and that the installment shall bear
interest at a rate not exceeding six per cent per annum, payable annually,
from the date fixed in said ordinance, and the several installments and
interests thereon may be collected and enforced, as they shall become due,
in the manner provided for the enforcement of assessments under said
Article 9. No more of any assessment need be returned or certified to the
county collector than will show the amount due and unpaid at the time of
such return, and no sale of any parcel of land for any installment of an
assessment shall discharge the premises from any subsequent installment of
the same or any other assessment. Any one or all of the installments may be
paid any time after the assessment is confirmed, with accrued interest, if
any, to the date of payment.

centum of the unpaid portion of such assessment at the date of the issue
thereof, payable only out of such assessment, and bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding the rate of interest upon the installments of such
assessments. The board of trustees shall have the right to call in and pay
off said bonds or certificates as fast as there is money received into the
treasury from the assessment against which the same are issued, and all
moneys received upon such assessment shall be applied to the payment of
said certificates or bonds until they are fully satisfied.

Sec. 16. Whenever the board of trustees of any sanitary district shall pass an
ordinance for the making of any improvement which such district is
authorized to make, the making of which will require that private property
should be taken or damaged, such district may cause compensation therefor
to be ascertained, and condemn and acquire possession thereof in the same
manner as nearly as may be as is provided for the exercise of the right
of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act. However, proceedings to ascertain
the compensation to be paid for
taking or damaging private property shall in all cases, be instituted in
the county where the property sought to be taken or damaged is situated and
all damages to property whether determined by agreement or by final
judgment of court shall be paid out of the annual district tax, prior to
the payment of any other debt or obligation. In the event the board of
trustees of such sanitary district shall determine that negotiations for
the acquisition property for flood control projects or easements for sewers
or sewer improvement over, under or upon certain parcels or tracts of land
necessary for the right of way for any improvement which such District is
authorized to make have proven unsuccessful and the Board of Trustees shall
have by resolution adopted a schedule or plan of operation for the
execution of the project and therein made a finding that it is necessary to
take such property immediately or at some specified later date in order to
comply with the schedule, the Board may commence proceedings to acquire
such property or easements in the same manner provided in Article 20 of the Eminent Domain Act (quick-take procedure).

		When it shall be necessary in making any improvements which any
district is authorized by this Act to make, to enter upon any public property
or property held for public use, such district shall have the power so to
do and may acquire the necessary right of way over public property or such
property held for public use in the same manner as is above provided for
acquiring private property, and may enter upon, use, widen, deepen and improve
any navigable or other waters, waterways, canal or lake; and the channel
or bed of any river, water course or stream used by such district as an
outlet for drainage, may be changed in order to straighten the same, if
the capacity of the channel is maintained unimpaired: Provided, the public
use thereof shall not be unnecessarily interrupted or interfered with.
Provided, further, that before any work shall be started, plans for such
proposed change or straightening of streams shall first be submitted to the
Department of Natural Resources of the State for
approval and a permit obtained therefor under the seal of the Director of the Department.  Provided, further, that the district shall
have the power to acquire by
purchase or contract, but not by condemnation, existing sanitary
facilities, including, but not limited to, drains, ditches, outlets,
sewers and sewage treatment plants owned by any sanitary district, city,
village, incorporated town or other municipal corporation, township or
county.
Every such district may build suitable bridges with suitable approaches
thereto, with roadways and sidewalks thereon for public travel across its
main drainage channel on the line of Crawford Avenue, sometimes called Fortieth
Avenue, in the City of Chicago, as extended across the main
channel; and also on the line of California Avenue in the City of Chicago
as extended across the main drainage channel; also on the line
of Cicero Avenue, sometimes called Forty-eight Avenue, in the City of Chicago,
as extended across the main drainage channel; and on the line
of Harlem Avenue, sometimes called Seventy-second Avenue, as extended across
the main drainage channel, all in the county
of Cook; Provided, that such bridges shall be without center piers and
shall otherwise conform to the requirements of the Federal government
with regard to the width of the channel, clearance and other regulations
designed to prevent interference with commerce.  In building such bridges
and approaches thereto, such district shall have the power to go beyond
the limits of its own property, to build viaducts over or subways under
public or private property or the right-of-way of any railroad, and to
acquire by purchase, condemnation or otherwise, the necessary land, and
to do all other things necessary to make access to any such bridge more
convenient and practicable.  Said bridges with approaches, roadways and
sidewalks thereon shall be thereafter maintained in good order for
public travel by any such district as a corporate expense, and no
compensation shall be demanded or required to be paid any such district
for its land necessarily taken to form part of a street or highway to
afford access to any such bridge or as compensation for such bridges and
their appurtenances as aforesaid: Provided, however, that if any such
bridges with approaches, viaducts, subways, roadways and sidewalks
thereon shall lie wholly within the territorial limits of any one
municipality, then any such bridges with approaches, viaducts, subways,
roadways, sidewalks and appurtenances shall on completion be turned over
to the corporate authorities of any such municipality free of cost, and
shall thereupon become the property of such municipality, and be
maintained in good order for public travel by such municipality: And,
provided, further, however, that if any land of such district or other
land acquired by purchase, condemnation or otherwise is necessarily
taken to form a part of a street or roadway leading to any such bridge,
which land lies wholly within such municipality, or if such district
shall enter into a contract with any such municipality for the
dedication of the right of way for a street across or over any lands of
such district adjoining such main channel for an approach, or roadway
leading to any such bridge lying wholly within any such municipality,
then such street shall become a part of the public highways of such
municipality, and such municipality shall thereafter maintain such
street and all parts and portions thereof and shall place any and all
improvements that such municipality may deem necessary in such street
without any cost or charge of any kind to the district.

plaintiff shall also recover his reasonable attorneys' fees to be taxed as
costs of suit: Provided, however, it shall appear on the hearing of
plaintiff's motion to tax such attorney's fees, that the plaintiff notified
the trustees of such district, in writing, at least 60 days before suit was
commenced by leaving a copy of such notice with some one of the trustees of
such district, stating that he claims damages to the amount of .... dollars
by reason of (here insert the cause of damage) and intends to sue for the

water, or natural or artificial water course, beyond or without the limits
of such district, without conforming to the provisions of this Act, or
having introduced such sewage into such water course, shall fail to comply

individual or the authorities of any
municipal corporation shall file with the Attorney General a verified
statement, in writing, setting forth wherein the sanitary district has
failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Act, it shall be the
duty of the Attorney General forthwith to file in a court of competent

		If any channel is constructed under the provisions hereof by means
of which any of the waters of Lake Michigan shall be caused to pass into
the Des Plaines or Illinois River, such channel shall be constructed of
sufficient size and capacity to produce and maintain at all times a
continuous flow of not less than 300,000 cubic feet of water per minute,
and to be of a depth of not less than fourteen feet, and a current not
exceeding three miles per hour, and if any portion of any such channel
shall be cut through a territory with a rocky stratum where such rocky
stratum is above a grade sufficient to produce a depth of water from Lake
Michigan of not less than eighteen feet, such portion of said channel shall
have double the flowing capacity above provided for, and a width of not
less than one hundred and sixty feet at the bottom capable of producing a
depth of not less than eighteen feet of water. If the population of the
district draining into such channel shall at any time exceed 1,500,000,
such channel shall be made and kept of such size and in such condition that
it will produce and maintain at all times a continuous flow of not less
than 20,000 cubic feet of water per minute for each 100,000 of the
population of such district, at a current of not more than three miles per
hour, and if at any time the general government shall improve the Des
Plaines or Illinois Rivers, so that the same shall be capable of receiving
a flow of 600,000 cubic feet of water per minute, or more, from said
channel, and shall provide for the payment of all damages which any extra
flow above 300,000 cubic feet of water per minute from such channel may
cause to private property so as to save harmless the said district from all
liability therefrom, then such sanitary district shall within one year
thereafter, enlarge the entire channel leading into said Des Plaines or
Illinois Rivers from said district to a sufficient size and capacity to
produce and maintain a continuous flow throughout the same of not less than
600,000 cubic feet of water per minute, with a current of not more than
three miles per hour, and such channel shall be constructed upon such grade
as to be capable of producing a depth of water not less than eighteen feet
throughout said channel, and shall have a width of not less than one
hundred and sixty feet at the bottom. In case a channel is constructed in
the Des Plaines River as contemplated in this section it shall be carried
down the slope between Lockport and Joliet to the pool commonly known as
the upper basin of sufficient width and depth to carry off the water the
channel shall bring down from above. The district constructing a channel to
carry water from Lake Michigan of any amount authorized by this act, may
correct, modify and remove obstructions in the Des Plaines and Illinois
Rivers wherever it shall be necessary so to do to prevent overflow or
damage along said river, and shall remove the dams at Henry and Copperas
Creek in the Illinois River, before any water shall be turned into the said
channel. And the canal commissioners, if they shall find at any time that
an additional supply of water has been added to either of said rivers, by
any drainage district or districts, to maintain a depth of not less than
six feet from any dam owned by the state, to and into the first lock of the
Illinois and Michigan Canal at La Salle, without the aid of any such dam,
at low water, then it shall be the duty of said canal commissioners to
cause such dam or dams to be removed. This act shall not be construed to
authorize the injury or destruction of existing water power rights.

		If any channel is constructed under Section 23 of this Act,
the trustees of such district shall, when such channel is completed, and
before any water or sewage is admitted therein, duly notify, in writing,
the Governor of this State of such fact. The Governor shall, upon
receipt of notice, appoint 3 discreet persons as commissioners, one of
whom shall be a resident of the City of Joliet or between said city and
the City of LaSalle, one a resident of the City of LaSalle or between
said city and the City of Peoria, and one a resident of the City of
Peoria or between said city and the mouth of the Illinois River, to
inspect the work. The commissioners shall, within 10 days after such
appointment, meet at the City of Chicago, appoint a competent civil
engineer and employ other assistance as they consider necessary to
perform their duties. The commissioners shall take as their datum line
for the survey the datum established by the Illinois and Michigan Canal
Trustees in 1847, and shall make such examination and surveys of Chicago
River and of the channel or channels authorized by this Act to determine
whether the channel is of the character and capacity required by this
Act. On finding that the work complies with Section 23 of this Act, the
commissioners shall so certify to the Governor, who shall thereupon
authorize the water and sewage to be let into the channel. But in case
the commissioners shall find said channel is not constructed in
accordance with this Act, they shall file in the circuit court in their
name as commissioners, a complaint against the corporation, which
complaint shall describe how the work is deficient and how it fails to
comply with this Act. On receipt of the complaint, the court shall issue
an injunction without bond against the defendant, enjoining it from
admitting water or sewage into the channel until the final order of the
court. In case the court, upon hearing, determines that the channel is
not constructed in accordance with this Act, the injunction shall
continue until this Act is fully complied with.
The commissioners and engineer shall receive for their services $10 per
day each, and their reasonable expenses and outlays for the

If any channel is constructed under this Act which shall discharge
the sewage of a population of more than 300,000 into or through any
river beyond or without the limits of the district constructing it, the
channel shall be constructed in accordance with Section 23 of this Act,

channel connected with Lake Michigan it is considered as receiving its
supply of water from Lake Michigan.

part of the sanitary district from the remainder of the sanitary district,
and (4) if the sanitary district has not extended sewerage or drainage
facilities to such territory or has not provided sewage treatment plant
facilities for the area in the following manner:
A written petition directed to the circuit court of the county in which
the territory proposed to be disconnected is located and if such territory
is located in more than one county then to the circuit court of the county
in which the greater part of such territory may be located, which petition
shall be signed by a majority of the electors, if any, residing within the
territory and also signed by a majority of the owners of record of land in
such territory, and also representing a majority of the area of land in
such territory, shall be filed with the clerk of the court. The petition
shall set forth the description of the territory to be detached from the
sanitary district, shall allege the pertinent facts in support of the
disconnection of such territory and shall pray that the court
detach the territory from the sanitary district.
Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall set the same for public
hearing which date of public hearing shall be within 30 days of the date of
the filing of the petition, and the court shall give at least 10 days
notice of such hearing by publishing notice thereof once in a newspaper
having a general circulation within the sanitary district the date of such
publication to be not less than 10 days prior to the date set for the
public hearing. The notice shall refer to the petition filed with the
court, shall describe the territory proposed to be disconnected, shall
indicate the prayer of the petition and the date, time and place at which
the public hearing will be held and shall further indicate that the
sanitary district and any person residing in or owning property in the
territory or in the sanitary district from which such territory is sought
to be disconnected shall have an opportunity to be heard on the prayer of
the petition. Notice of the filing of the petition,
the substance of which shall be as hereinabove prescribed for the published
notice shall also be mailed to the president of the board of trustees of the sanitary
district.
The public hearing may be continued from time to time by the court.
After such public hearing and having heard all persons desiring to be heard
who reside in or own property in the territory involved or in the sanitary
district from which such territory is sought to be disconnected, including
the sanitary district, if the court finds that the allegations of the
petition are true, the court shall grant the prayer of the petition and
shall enter an order disconnecting the territory from the sanitary
district, which order shall be filed of record and the clerk of the court
shall cause to be
delivered a certified copy of such order to the
clerk of the sanitary district from which such territory has been detached
and to the county clerk. If the court finds that
the allegations contained in the petition are not true then the court shall
enter an order dismissing the same.
However, the disconnection of any territory from the sanitary district
shall not exempt such territory from taxation for the purpose of paying any
indebtedness incurred by the corporate authorities of the sanitary district
prior to the time of filing of the petition for disconnection and during
the time that such territory was a part of the sanitary district which is
payable from general property taxes income. Such territory shall be
assessed and taxed to pay such indebtedness until such indebtedness is
completely paid, the same as though the territory had not been disconnected.

Sec. 88. 
		Drainage; navigation; special assessments.
(a) The board of trustees of said sanitary district shall have the right
to provide for the drainage of the additional territory added to said
sanitary district by Section 86 by laying out, establishing, constructing and
maintaining one or more channels, drains, ditches and outlets for carrying
off and disposing of the drainage (including the sewage) of such district,
together with such adjuncts and additions thereto as may be necessary or
proper to cause such channels or outlets to accomplish the end for which
they are designed in a satisfactory manner and shall have the right to use
what is known as the "Calumet feeder" of the Illinois and Michigan Canal
and lands adjacent to such feeder belonging to the State of Illinois for
the site of any such channel, within the limits of the county in which such
district is situated, in such manner as said district may elect, and shall
also have the right to construct a channel across said Illinois and
Michigan Canal, without being required to restore said Illinois and
Michigan Canal or said feeder to its former usefulness. If, by reason of
said abandonment, a stagnant stream or pool of water shall remain upon the
deposits of Chicago sewage, accumulated in said Illinois and Michigan Canal
by reason of its years of usefulness by the City of Chicago as a sewage
outlet, said sanitary district shall fill up said canal to a depth
sufficient to remove said condition and prevent the spread of pestilence
and disease throughout the territory in which said Illinois and Michigan
Canal is abandoned; and the other powers and jurisdictions of said sanitary
district of Chicago over and in connection with such added territory shall
be the same as that vested in it over the territory included within the
limits of said sanitary district as originally organized. Before said
Calumet channel is connected with the present main sanitary channel, gates
of suitable pattern for shutting off the flow of water into said Calumet
channel shall be installed at or near the connection of said Calumet
channel with the Calumet river and forever maintained for use in case of an
emergency, and for the protection of the property and lives of residents of
the Illinois valley, and shall maintain the same proportion of dilution of
sewage through such auxiliary channels as it may construct and join to its
main channel as is now required by the act creating said sanitary district:
Provided, however, that before any such channel is constructed across said
Illinois and Michigan Canal, or the navigation of said canal in any manner
interfered with, said sanitary district of Chicago shall connect its
present main channel from the controlling works at Lockport with the upper
basin of the Illinois and Michigan Canal at Joliet by a channel of a depth
of not less than ten (10) feet and a width of not less than one hundred and
sixty (160) feet through its entire length, in which channel so to be
constructed, said sanitary district shall provide and construct a lock or
locks of the size of at least twenty-two (22) feet in width by one hundred
and thirty (130) feet in length between mitre sills, connecting upper and
lower levels, and provide suitable protection for water craft in using said
locks and channel. Said locks shall be constructed of the most approved
pattern of their size, and be perfectly safe for use and be equipped with
machinery to operate the same; and if only one lock is constructed it shall
be provided with double gates to prevent accident, and said sanitary
district shall forever maintain and operate the same: Provided, further,
that said sanitary district shall furnish and provide at said lock a site
of the dimensions of at least twenty by thirty feet upon which the state
through the Canal Commissioners shall have the right to erect a suitable
office building and keep an agent therein, and the Canal Commissioners
shall have such authority in and about said lock as is necessary to enforce
the rules and regulations prescribed by them pertaining to and governing
navigation on the Illinois and Michigan Canal: Provided, further, that said
sanitary district shall furnish, free of all expense, for the perpetual use
of the Canal Commissioners, at some point in the Township of Lockport to be
agreed upon by the Canal Commissioners and the sanitary district trustees,
a strip or parcel of land bordering upon said sanitary channel, eight
hundred (800) feet in length and one hundred and thirty (130) feet in
width, filling the same to a suitable depth to provide suitable roadways
for approaches, whereon may be located, constructed and operated, docks,
shops, barns and other buildings controlled by the Canal Commissioners and
used in connection with the operation of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
(b) Said sanitary district shall permit all water craft navigating or
proposing to navigate said Illinois and Michigan Canal to navigate the
water of all said channels of said sanitary district promptly, without
delay and without payment of any tolls or lockage charges for so navigating
in said channels. The rules of the United States government now in force,
regulating navigation on the Chicago river shall govern navigation on the
channels of said sanitary district of Chicago: Provided, however, that the
speed of all vessels while passing through the earth sections shall not
exceed eight (8) miles per hour.
(c) Said sanitary district of Chicago shall have no power to levy and
collect any special assessment or special tax upon any part of said added
territory to defray or pay any part of the cost, either of the work
heretofore done by said sanitary district or any main channel hereafter to
be constructed in said added territory.
(d) That the said sanitary district of Chicago is hereby authorized to
construct all such dams, waterwheels and other works north of the upper
basin of the Illinois and Michigan Canal as may be necessary or appropriate
to develop and render available the power arising from the water passing
through its main channel and any auxiliary channels now or hereafter
constructed by said district.
(e) That the power made available by the works constructed under the
provisions of this act shall be converted into electrical energy and shall
be transmitted to the various cities, villages and towns within said
sanitary district or adjacent to the main channel of said sanitary district
and may be used in the lighting of said cities, villages and towns, or
parts thereof, or for the operation of pumping plants or machinery used for
municipal purposes or for public service, or may be disposed of to any
other person or corporation, upon such terms and conditions as may be
agreed to by the said sanitary district: Provided, however, that it shall
be the duty of said sanitary district to utilize so much of said power as
may be required for that purpose to operate the pumping stations, bridges
and other machinery of said sanitary district.
(f) For the purpose of meeting the expenditures arising from
the exercise of the powers conferred by sections five and six of this act
upon the said sanitary district, the said sanitary district of Chicago is
hereby authorized to levy and collect in each year, for a period of three
years (in addition to the taxes which said district is now by law
authorized to levy and collect) a tax of not exceeding .0625 per cent of
the full, fair cash value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue, of the taxable property within the corporate limits of said
district for the year in which the levy is made. The county clerk, in
extending said .0625 per cent tax upon the taxable property within said
sanitary district, shall not in any event reduce the same, but in that respect
said .0625 per cent shall not be subject to the provisions of the Property
Tax Code.
(g) The said sanitary district shall, at the expense of said district,
in all respects comply with the provisions of the acts of Congress of March
22, 1822, and March 2, 1827, as construed by the courts of last resort of
the State of Illinois and of the United States, in relation to the Illinois
and Michigan Canal, so far as it affects that portion of the Illinois and
Michigan Canal vacated or abandoned by the terms of this Act.
