AN ACT concerning local government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by |
changing Section 11-110-1 as follows:
|
(65 ILCS 5/11-110-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-110-1)
|
Sec. 11-110-1.
The corporate authorities of cities and |
villages for
drainage purposes may lay out, establish, |
construct, and maintain drains,
storm sewers, detention |
basins, retention basins and other "green infrastructure" |
facilities, such as green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, tree |
boxes, porous pavement, porous pipe systems, native plantings, |
constructed wetlands, and cisterns, ditches, levees, dykes, |
pumping works, and machinery, and may acquire the
necessary |
land and machinery therefor, and in this manner may provide for
|
draining or otherwise managing the runoff, such as by |
infiltration, evapotranspiration, or collection, on any |
portion of the land within their corporate limits, by special
|
assessment upon the property benefited thereby, or by general |
taxation, or
a combination both. No lot, block, tract, or |
parcel of land, however, shall be
assessed more than once in |
any one year by a municipality for maintenance.
