(70 ILCS 2205/24) (from Ch. 42, par. 270)
Sec. 24.
In case any sanitary district organized hereunder, shall
include within its limits, in whole or in part, any drainage district or
districts organized under the laws of this state having levees, drains
or ditches which are conducive to sanitary purposes, such drainage
district or districts shall have paid and reimbursed to it or them,
upon such terms as may be agreed upon by its or their corporate
authorities and the board of trustees of said sanitary district, the
reasonable cost or value of such levee, drains or ditches, which
valuation shall in no case be fixed at less than any unpaid indebtedness
incurred by such district or districts in contracting the same. Upon
such payment being made, the sanitary district shall have the right to
appropriate and use such levees, drains or ditches, or any part thereof,
as it may desire, for or in connection with any improvements authorized
by this act, and for or in connection with the purposes for which said
sanitary district is organized; Provided, no such levee, drain or ditch
shall be destroyed, removed or otherwise so used as to impair its
usefulness for the purposes for which the same was constructed, without
the consent of the corporate authorities of such drainage district. In
case the board of trustees of said sanitary district and the corporate
authorities of any such drainage district shall be unable to agree upon
the compensation to be paid or reimbursed to such drainage district,
the same may be ascertained and enforced by any proper proceeding in the circuit court.
