(65 ILCS 5/11-140-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-140-4)
Sec. 11-140-4.
When the corporate authorities of a municipality determine
to construct improvements provided for in Section 11-140-1, they shall do
so by an ordinance which shall prescribe whether the improvements shall be
made by special assessment or by special taxation. The ordinance shall also
prescribe the nature, character, locality, and description of the
improvements, either by setting forth the same in the ordinance itself, or
by reference to maps, plats, plans, profiles, or specifications thereof on
file in the office of the municipal clerk, or by both methods.
The ordinance shall also describe by reasonably well understood
boundaries, those portions of the municipality the sewerage of which is to
be conducted by sewers already laid, or by those contemplated to be laid,
into and through the outlet sewer provided for by Section 11-140-1. This
property within those boundaries shall be assessable for the cost of this
outlet sewer improvement. If property is to be taken or damaged for this
improvement, the ordinance shall describe the property with reasonable
certainty.
