(70 ILCS 3705/5a) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 192a)
Sec. 5a.
The board of trustees of any public water district organized
under this Act may, not less than 60 days preceding any regular
election, request the proper election official of the county wherein the major
portion of the district is located, to cause to be submitted to the
voters of such district at such election the proposition to authorize
such board of trustees to levy annually, for a period of not more than
10 years, a tax of not to exceed .02% of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, of the taxable
property in the district, to be used for the corporate purposes of the
district. The board shall certify the proposition to the election official
who shall immediately notify the election official of any
other county whose territory is part of such public water district and
each such official shall cause such proposition to be submitted at such
election in accordance with the general election law.
If a majority of the votes cast on such proposition is in favor
thereof, the board of trustees may thereafter levy such tax as
authorized.
