(65 ILCS 5/11-147-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-147-1)
Sec. 11-147-1. Whenever a municipality, drainage district, sanitary
district, or other municipal corporation is adjacent to any other
municipality, drainage district, sanitary district, or other municipal
corporation the adjacent municipal corporations have the power to contract
with each other, upon such terms as may be agreed upon between them, for
the perpetual or temporary use and benefit by one of them of any sewer or
drain, or of any system of sewerage or drainage or part thereof, or of any
sewage disposal or sewage treatment plants and works, heretofore or
hereafter constructed by the other. Any such sewer or drain, or system of
sewerage or drainage or part thereof, or sewage disposal or sewage
treatment plants and work, heretofore or hereafter constructed by one such
municipal corporation may be extended or furnished to the inhabitants of
the other. Such municipal corporations may by contract with each other
provide for the joint construction of any sewer or drain or sewage disposal
or sewage treatment plants and works by the municipal corporations so
contracting, and for the common use thereof by the inhabitants of the
contracting municipal corporations. In addition, whenever a sanitary district has acquired an easement granting the sanitary district the right to construct or operate a sanitary sewer system or part of a sanitary sewer system over property that connects the sanitary district to a municipality, the municipality and the sanitary district may enter into a contract for the use of the sanitary sewer system regardless of whether the sanitary district is adjacent to the municipality.
