(65 ILCS 5/11-110-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-110-1)
Sec. 11-110-1.
The corporate authorities of cities and villages for
drainage purposes may lay out, establish, construct, and maintain drains,
storm sewers, detention basins, retention basins and other "green infrastructure" facilities, such as green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, tree boxes, porous pavement, porous pipe systems, native plantings, constructed wetlands, and cisterns, ditches, levees, dykes, pumping works, and machinery, and may acquire the
necessary land and machinery therefor, and in this manner may provide for
draining or otherwise managing the runoff, such as by infiltration, evapotranspiration, or collection, on any portion of the land within their corporate limits, by special
assessment upon the property benefited thereby, or by general taxation, or
a combination. No lot, block, tract, or parcel of land, however, shall be
assessed more than once in any one year by a municipality for maintenance.
