(65 ILCS 5/11-111-9) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-9)
Sec. 11-111-9.
When a specified improvement district has been created by
ordinance under Sections 11-111-8 through 11-111-10, the corporate
authorities shall have an accurate survey of the work contemplated to be
done, made by the city engineer, if there is one, and if not, then by a
competent civil engineer. This engineer shall make and file with the
municipal clerk, plats, profiles, and estimates of the work to be done. The
estimates shall include the cost of all walls or other structures necessary
to hold the earth in its proper place and the cost of the fill upon each
lot, block, or part thereof, and tract of land within the district, which
must be filled under the ordinance. The survey, plat, profile, and
estimates shall be used in estimating the benefit to be charged against the
lots, blocks, or parts thereof, or tracts of land, within that improvement
district by reason of the filing and protection thereof from overflow or
unsanitary accumulation of sipe or surface water.

(65 ILCS 5/11-111-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-10)
Sec. 11-111-10.
Each lot, block, or part thereof, or tract of land in an
improvement district specified in Section 11-111-8, whether already filled
to grade or not, may be assessed to pay the cost of the improvement
according to the special benefit it will receive therefrom.
When the ordinance under which the specified local improvement is
ordered provides that the improvement shall be made wholly or partially by
special taxation of contiguous property, the special tax shall be levied,
assessed, and collected, as nearly as may be, in the manner provided by
Article 9. However, no special tax shall be levied or assessed upon any
property to pay for the improvement, in an amount in excess of the special
benefit which that property will receive from the improvement. The
ordinance is not conclusive of that benefit, but the question of that
benefit and of the amount of the special tax are subject to court review,
and shall be tried in the same manner as in proceedings by special
assessment.

The corporate authorities may remove or cause the removal
in such manner as they may direct, the driftwood and other obstructions
from natural and other water courses causing flooding of any part of the
corporate area whether such obstructions are located inside or outside the
corporate limits, and for that purpose, after written notice to the owner
at least 10 days prior thereto, may enter upon the lands or waters of any
person, but subject to responsibility for all damages which shall be
occasioned thereby.
