(60 ILCS 1/205-10)
Sec. 205-10.
Any township having a population of less
than 500,000 may construct or purchase and operate a waterworks
system or a sewerage system, or a combined waterworks and sewerage
system, may improve or extend the system from time to time as provided in this
Article, and may fund the system through the use of appropriated general
township and federal revenue sharing funds and other income or revenue derived
from the operation of the system or from the sale of revenue bonds under this
Article. A township that owns and operates a sewerage system or a combined
waterworks and sewerage system may, when determined by its township board to be
in the public interest and necessary for the protection of the public health,
enter into and perform contracts, whether long-term or short-term, with an
industrial establishment for the provision and operation by the township of
sewerage facilities to abate or reduce the pollution of waters caused by
discharges of industrial wastes by the industrial establishment and the
payment periodically by the industrial establishment to the township of
amounts at least sufficient, in the determination of the township board, to
compensate the township for the cost of providing (including payment of
principal and interest charges, if any), operating, and maintaining the
sewerage facilities serving the industrial establishment.
