Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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 2305/7.1
(70 ILCS 2305/7.1) (from Ch. 42, par. 283.1)
Sec. 7.1.
In providing works for the treatment of industrial sewage,
commonly called industrial wastes, whether the industrial sewage is
disposed of in combination with municipal sewage or independently, the
sanitary district has power to apportion and collect therefore, from the
producer thereof, fair additional construction, maintenance and operating
costs over and above those covered by normal taxes, and in case of dispute
as to the fairness of such additional construction, maintenance and
operating costs, then the same shall be determined by an arbitration board
of 3 engineers, one appointed by the sanitary district, one appointed by
such producer or producers or their legal representatives, and the third to
be appointed by the 2 engineers selected as above described. In the event
the 2 engineers so selected fail to agree upon a third engineer then upon
the petition of either of the parties the circuit judge shall appoint such
third engineer. A decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be
binding on both parties and the cost of the services of the arbitration
board shall be shared by both parties equally. Such decision is an
administrative decision and is subject to judicial review as provided in
the Administrative Review Law.
In providing works, including the main pipes referred to in Section 7,
for the treatment of raw sewage, in the manner provided in this Act, whether
such sewage is treated in combination with municipal sewage or
independently, the sanitary district has power to collect a fair and
reasonable charge for connection to its system in addition to those charges
covered by normal taxes, for the construction, expansion and extension of
the works of the system, the charge to be assessed against new or
additional users of the system and to be known as a connection charge.
Such construction, expansion and extension of the works of the system
shall include proposed or existing collector systems and may, at the
discretion of such district, include connections by individual properties.
The charge for connection shall be determined by the district and may equal
or exceed the actual cost to the district of the construction, expansion or
extension of the works of the system required by the connection. The
funds thus collected shall be used by the sanitary district for its general
corporate purposes with primary application thereof being made by the
necessary expansion of the works of the system to meet the requirements of
the new users thereof.
