|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Public Water District Act is amended by | 5 | | adding Section 28.2 as follows: | 6 | | (70 ILCS 3705/28.2 new) | 7 | | Sec. 28.2. Sangamon Valley Public Water District | 8 | | annexation. | 9 | | (a) The General Assembly finds: | 10 | | (1) Due to a natural gas leak in December 2016, | 11 | | multiple water wells connected to the Mahomet Aquifer, one | 12 | | of the largest sources of water in the State of Illinois, | 13 | | were contaminated with methane, so much so, that numerous | 14 | | homeowners are without potable water. | 15 | | (2) The issue of methane contamination of the State of | 16 | | Illinois' water supply has become a statewide issue and | 17 | | resulted in the Illinois Attorney General having | 18 | | litigation pending over the contamination. On December 21, | 19 | | 2018, the Mahomet Aquifer Task Force issued their report | 20 | | specifically addressing this incident and future incidents | 21 | | and stressed the need to provide State government, | 22 | | legislative, and monetary relief so immediate remediation | 23 | | may begin. |

| 1 | | (3) The area residents have been without safe water | 2 | | service for 4 years. | 3 | | (4) The cost of expanding infrastructure to the area | 4 | | is estimated around $10,000,000. The Sangamon Valley | 5 | | Public Water District is not a taxing body, but rather | 6 | | operates on fees for provided water service and to | 7 | | initiate construction would require an initial sum of | 8 | | $3,800,000. | 9 | | (5) In June 2020, in recognition of this Illinois | 10 | | water-source crisis, the General Assembly passed, and the | 11 | | Governor signed a Capital Bill appropriating $3,800,000 | 12 | | required for initiation of the plan to bring water to this | 13 | | area of the State. | 14 | | (6) In addition to funding, the affected area needs to | 15 | | be annexed into a water district territory for such | 16 | | district to be able to lawfully expend funds to benefit | 17 | | the territory and the current statutory annexation | 18 | | procedure is insufficient to address the crisis and does | 19 | | not provide for nor contemplate an expedited procedure in | 20 | | the event of water contamination. | 21 | | (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on the | 22 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General | 23 | | Assembly, the following property is annexed into the territory | 24 | | of the Sangamon Valley Public Water District: | 25 | | SECTION 1, TOWNSHIP 20 NORTH, RANGE 7 EAST OF THE THIRD | 26 | | PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN; |
