Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(70 ILCS 2305/28) (from Ch. 42, par. 296.8)
Sec. 28. Annexation of territory. The board of trustees of any sanitary district may annex any
territory which is not within the corporate limits of the sanitary
district, provided:
(a) The territory is contiguous to the annexing |
| sanitary district or the territory is non-contiguous and the owner or owners of record have entered into an agreement requesting the annexation of the non-contiguous territory; and
|
|
(b) The territory is served by the sanitary district
|
| or by a municipality with sanitary sewers that are connected and served by the sanitary district.
|
|
The annexation shall be accomplished only by ordinance and the ordinance
shall include a description of the annexed territory. The ordinance annexing non-contiguous territory shall designate the ward to which the land shall be assigned. A copy of the
ordinance and a map of the annexed territory certified as true and accurate
by the clerk of the annexing sanitary district shall be filed with the
county clerk of the county in which the annexed territory is located.
The new boundary shall extend to the far side of any adjacent highway and
shall include all of every highway within the area annexed. These highways
shall be considered to be annexed even though not included in the legal
description set forth in the annexation ordinance.
The territory to be annexed to the sanitary district shall be considered to be contiguous to the sanitary district notwithstanding that the territory to be annexed is divided by, or that the territory to be annexed is separated from the sanitary district by, one or more railroad rights-of-way, public easements, or properties owned by a public utility, a forest preserve district, a public agency, or a not-for-profit corporation.
